Research Projects
Featured research projects

Workflows Community Initiative
Bring the workflows community together to provide community resources and capabilities to enable scientists and workflow systems developers to discover software products, related efforts, etc. and engage in community-wide efforts to tackle workflows grand challenges.

WRENCH
A simulation framework that makes it possible to implement scalable and accurate simulators of complex cyberinfrastructure systems quickly and easily.

WfCommons
A framework that enables scientific workflow research and development by providing tools for analyzing workflow execution traces and generating synthetic traces.

workflowsRI
Engage with representatives from the workflows community (researchers, developers, science and engineering users, and cyberinfrastructure experts) to design an infrastructure that will have the potential to truly democratize workflows research.
