A scientific workflow model designer based on scientific information control nets

In this paper, we design and implement a scientific workflow process designer with a conceptual building block depicting its architectural structure. The designer is theoretically designed from the scientific information control net[l], and it is graphically implemented by expanding the standardized BPMN(business process modeling notations)[2]. In particular, the designer is able to automatically transform a BPMN-based graphical form into an XML-based textual form of the scientific workflow process model. Finally, we illustrate two captured-screens of the designer, as an operational example, which are corresponding to a simple scientific workflow process model and its XML-based representation, respectively.
