Workflow Emulator (WORKEM)
Overview
Workflows have been used to model repeatable tasks or operations in a number of different industries including manufacturing and software. Increasingly workflows access distributed resources and web services. These distributed environments make it difficult and tedious to study workflow behavior and debug higher-level issues with workflow structure etc. The Workflow Emulator provides an environment that enables scientists to design, deploy and test workflow examples, generate appropriate provenance information and debug higher-level application issues. The Workflow Emulator uses Apache ODE, a BPEL-based workflow engine, and a task emulator service to reproduce workflow execution.
