XPFlow

XPFlow is an implementation of a new, workflow-inspired approach to control experiments involving large-scale computer installations. Such systems pose many difficult problems to researchers due to their complexity, their numerous constituents and scalability problems. The main idea of the approach consists in describing the experiment as a workflow and execute it using achievements of Business Process Management (BPM), workflow management techniques and scientific workflows.
