Abstract
Today’s scientific application requires tremendous amount of computation-driven as well as data-driven supported resources. The scientific applications are represented as workflows. The workflow management systems are designed and developed to depict the workflows of complex nature. The workflow management systems are able to reliably and efficiently coordinate among various resources in a distributed environment. This chapter describes various workflow management software like Kepler, Taverna, Triana, Pegasus, and Askalon. The architecture and functionalities of these workflow management systems are explained in the following sections.
