Using Workflows Of Web Services To Manage Simulation Studies Into The Cloud

We propose to drive simulation studies using workflows of web service. On one hand workflow help us to control the complete simulation process by automating task and/or by guiding users through user interaction and on the other hand web service allows us to execute the simulation into the cloud. Those two techniques promotes the sharing and the replayability of experiments since no simulation environment must be locally-installed. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasability of such methodology using the Taverna workflow management system coupled with myExperiment wich is an online repository of workflow and the RISE middleware. RISE can make your simulator available from the cloud through a REST API.
