Abstract
The jABC is a multi-purpose modeling framework that has been used for model-driven development of workflows and processes in different application domains. In this paper we present jABCstats, an extensible process library for analyzing jABC workflows empirically. We also discuss first results of its application to scientific workflows modeled with the jABC, which give insights into typical workflow sizes and into the kinds of services and the workflow patterns commonly used.
