What is Grid Workflow Management System

Handbook of Research on Computational Grid Technologies for Life Sciences, Biomedicine, and Healthcare
A system that defines, creates and manages the execution of workflows through the use of grid computing technologies, running on one or more workflow engines, which is able to interpret the process definition, interact with workflow participants and, where required, integrate distributed resources and legacy software modules.

Abstract
The LIBI project (International Laboratory of BioInformatics), which started in 2005 and will end in 2009, was initiated with the aim of setting up an advanced bioinformatics and computational biology laboratory, focusing on basic and applied research in modern biology and biotechnologies. One of the goals of this project has been the development of a Grid Problem Solving Environment, built on top of EGEE, DEISA and SPACI infrastructures, to allow the submission and monitoring of jobs mapped to complex experiments in bioinformatics. In this work we describe the architecture of this environment and describe several case studies and related results which have been obtained using it.
