Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience

We present a nature-inspired rule-based workflow platform capable of self adaptation by following an event-condition-action approach and by integrating a dynamic resource selection relying on rule based scheduling heuristics. A language for workflows that is simple and easy to understand is introduced. The language also supports task semantics and ontology definition.
