The Triana Workflow Environment: Architecture and Applications

In this chapter, the Triana workflow environment is described. Triana focuses on supporting services within multiple environments, such as peer-to-peer (P2P) and the Grid, by integrating with various types of middleware toolkits. This approach differs from that of the last chapter, which gave an overview of Taverna, a system designed to support scientists using Grid technology to conduct in silico experiments in biology. Taverna focuses workflow at the Web services level and addresses concerns of how such services should be presented to its users.
