Collaborative initiatives in workflow research
Discover the ongoing projects and achievements of specialized working groups and task forces advancing workflow research, development, and real-world applications.
Workflow Community Working Groups
Groups hosted by the Workflows Community Initiative.
Define FAIR principles for computational workflows that consider the complex lifecycle from specification to execution and data products
Develop hybrid workflows and middleware capable of reconciling quantum and classical systems and software stacks.
Develop and maintain a standardized terminology that enables researchers to systematically characterize, compare, and select workflow management systems based on their specific computational needs and infrastructure requirements.
Define methodology to collect meaningful performance metrics; share exemplar workflows written in multiple workflow languages
External Working Groups
Related efforts from other communities.
This group at the FAIR Digital Objects Forum is working on building a workflow framework that enables FAIR practices and provides reusable canonical components.
This group aims to identify workflow patterns capable of modeling large-scale scientific applications and implement the related Common Workflow Language enhancement proposals.
DFG Collaborative Research Center 1404 at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany
This community group is evolving RO-Crate – a FAIR data packaging standard. Two monthly calls and Slack channel.
This working group is defining Workflow Run Crate – a profile of RO-Crate for capturing the provenance of an execution of a computational workflow. Bi-weekly calls and Slack channel.
