SciFloware

Scientific Workflow Middleware

Keywords: Bioinformatics - Distributed Data Management

Functional Description: SciFloware is a middleware for the execution of scientific workflows in a distributed and parallel way. It capitalizes on our experience with the Shared-Data Overlay Network and an innovative algebraic approach to the management of scientific workflows. SciFloware provides a development environment and a runtime environment for scientific workflows, interoperable with existing systems. We validate SciFloware with workflows for analyzing biological data provided by our partners CIRAD, INRA and IRD.
