Introduction

“Scientific workflows are proving to be the preferred vehicle for computational knowledge extraction and for enabling science at a large scale. Workflows provide a scientist with a useful and flexible method to author complex data analysis pipelines composed of heterogeneous steps ranging from data capture from sensors or computer simulations to data cleaning, to transport and storage, and provide a foundation upon which results can be analyzed and validated.” (Scientific Workflow Workbench for Oceanography, Microsoft, retrieved 10:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC))
