New WfXML-R Prototype Effort at the Stevens Institute
As part of his Bachelor Thesis “The application of Wf-XML to scientific workflow: a satellite imaging case study” Philipp Hansen is currently working with us on a proof of concept prototype for WfXML-R at the Stevens Institute of Technology. His advisor there is Michael zur Muehlen.
He is following a two step approach. First step is the implementation of a WfXML-R interface for Sungard’s Carnot Workflow Engine, which already features the ASAP-based Wf-XML for workflow interoperability. This implementation will be tested with scientific workflows within NASA sensor web environment.
The second step is publishing and discovery of available workflows via APP according to the current WfXML-R version.
This will be the fourth implementation of WfXML-R for RESTFul Workflow Engines.
