The Power of Declarative Languages: A Comparative Exposition of Scientific Workflow Design Using BioFlow and Taverna (original) (raw)
Scientific workflow design is usually complex and demands integration of numerous resources. Geographical distribution and semantic heterogeneity of resources add to this complexity. The cost effectiveness of such workflow design thus depends upon the lifespan of the application and its anticipated use. Shorter application lifespan usually entails prohibitive development costs. In this paper, we present an alternative platform for declarative workflow design using BioFlow in distributed and heterogenous environments. We argue that a declarative workflow design using BioFlow is more efficient and cost effective compared to traditional approaches using systems such as Taverna.
