Workflows are everywhere in service industry, scientific research, as well as daily life, such as the workflow of scientific experiments, customer service, problem solving, information searching, expert finding, and decision making. Technologies that effectively manage workflows are in high demand in order to accelerate scientific discovery and benefit the society.
In this project, we are developing techniques to manage diverse types of workflows. In terms of workflow characteristics, we manage
In terms of application domain, we manage
