Expressando Atributos N\~ao-Funcionais em Workflows Cient\'ificos

TL;DR

This paper introduces OSC, a scientific workflow language that uses connectors as first-class entities to enhance reusability and compositionality in modeling workflows with non-functional attributes.

Contribution

OSC is a novel workflow specification language that applies software architecture principles, emphasizing connectors as core components for better configuration of non-functional attributes.

Findings

Improves reusability in workflow modeling

Enhances compositionality through connector use

Facilitates configuration of non-functional attributes

Abstract

In this paper we present OSC, a scientific workflow specification language based on software architecture principles. In contrast with other approaches, OSC employs connectors as first-class constructs. In this way, we leverage reusability and compositionality in the workflow modeling process, specially in the configuration of mechanisms that manage non-functional attributes.
