<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US">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:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
