Computer-assisted workflows composition based on Virtual Simulation Objects technology

TL;DR

This paper introduces formal models for Virtual Simulation Objects (VSO) to enhance scientific workflows composition by integrating domain knowledge and providing user assistance through reasoning over knowledge bases.

Contribution

It presents novel formal models of VSO internal structures and user-assistance logic developed over two years, advancing workflow composition methods.

Findings

Formal models of VSO structures developed

User-assistance logic based on reasoning over knowledge base

Improved integration of domain knowledge in workflows

Abstract

The existing approaches for scientific workflows composition face the problems of domain knowledge integration. By this paper we summarize the results, which have been elaborated and implemented during the 2-year research concerning to Virtual Simulation Objects (VSO) concept and technology development. The contribution of this paper consists of formal models of the VSO internal structures and user-assistance logic, which may be obtained as a result of the reasoning over knowledge base.
