Abstract

The paper introduces the challenges in modern workflow management in distributed environments spanning multiplecluster, grid and cloud systems. Recent developments in cloud computing infrastructures are presented and are referring howclouds can be incorporated into distributed workflow management, aside from local and grid systems considered so far. Severalchallenges concerning workflow definition, optimisation and execution are considered. These range from configuration, integration ofbusiness and scientific services, data management, dynamic monitoring and tracking, reusable workflow patterns, semantic searchand distributed execution of distributed services. Finally, the author recommends a solution to these challenges based on theBeesyCluster middleware for distributed management of services with static and dynamic rescheduling within a market of services.
