When it comes to high performance workflow execution, the distribution (outscaling) of the constituent services of the workflow across an environment of computational nodes is a key concept and also a very straightforward advantage of the workflow paradigm. However, scalable workflow execution cannot only be provided by the distribution of services but also necessitates novel architectures for the workflow engine in charge of service orchestration. Even though workflow orchestration is commonly provided by centralized solutions, these architectures imply performance bottlenecks and single points of failure. Hence, the workflow engine has to be distributed as well, by efficiently replicating workflow metadata across several nodes in a network. A particular challenge stems from the requirement of providing scalable workflow execution that is at the same time also reliable. In this paper, we present OSIRIS-SR, a decentralized middleware for the distributed execution of workflows. It has particularly been designed to jointly provide a high degree of scalability and reliability. OSIRIS-SR locally leverages the concurrent and redundant Actor model for workflow processing, whereas globally OSIRIS-SR runs a number of scalable system services for the management of workflow metadata, with the Safety Ring being the most prominent one. The Safety Ring service features a self-healing node overlay for the purpose of active workflow instance supervision that serves at the same time as a scalable and reliable metadata storage. We discuss in detail the Safety Ring architecture and the mechanics behind the scalable and reliable workflow management in OSIRIS-SR. The evaluation results of OSIRIS-SR show that support for reliable workflow execution does not significantly impact the system's scalability characteristics.","PeriodicalId":198333,"journal":{"name":"SWEET '13","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123500054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fundamental underlying assumption has been that data sources are passive and all interactions are structured along the request/reply (query) model. Hence, traditional WfMS cannot effectively support business or scientific monitoring applications that require the processing of data streams such as those generated nowadays by sensing devices as well as mobile and web applications.\u0000 Our hypothesis is that WfMS, both in the scientific and business domains, can be extended to support data stream semantics to enable monitoring applications. This includes the ability to apply flexible bounds on unbounded data streams and the ability to facilitate on-the-fly processing of bounded bundles of data (window semantics). In our previous work we have developed and implemented a Continuous Workflow Model that supports our hypothesis. This implementation of a CONtinuous workFLow ExeCution Engine (CONFLuEnCE) led to the realization that different applications have different performance requirements and hence an integrated workflow scheduling framework is essential. Such a framework is the main contribution of this paper. In particular, we designed and implemented STAFiLOS, a STreAm FLOw Scheduling for Continuous Workflows framework within CONFLuEnCE and evaluated STAFiLOS based on the Linear Road Benchmark.","PeriodicalId":198333,"journal":{"name":"SWEET '13","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132645276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
