Special Issue on Scientific Workflows
International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM)

Description
Scientific workflows have recently emerged as a new paradigm for scientists to formalize and
structure complex scientific processes to enable and accelerate many significant scientific
discoveries. A scientific workflow is a formal specification of a scientific process, which
represents, streamlines, and automates the analytical and computational steps that a scientist
needs to go through from dataset selection and integration, computation and analysis, to final
data product presentation and visualization. A scientific workflow management system (SWFMS)
is a system that supports the specification, modification, execution, failure recovery,
and monitoring of a scientific workflow using the workflow logic to control the order of
executing workflow tasks.
The goal of this special issue is to present critical challenges, requirements, and issues
related to scientific workflows. This collection of manuscripts will discuss key aspects
in the development of a broad range of novel and innovative scientific workflow technologies.
The emphasis of the special issue is on critical challenges in the development of various
scientific workflows specifically as they relate to business workflow and service technologies.
Particular emphasis will be placed on examples where innovative solutions to these challenges
have resulted in scientific workflows which impact the scientific discovery process. Topics
include but are not limited to:
