Review
From the reviews:
“The research monography introduces the abstract workflow description language, shortly AWDL ... . The research community involved in workflow technologies will find in this book an excellent overview of the current state of the art the field ... . Scientists from various research fields will find in the book several well described examples of scientific workflows to be followed. ... the book can be used as a guide for AWDL in practical lessons about workflow technologies at undergraduate or graduate studies in distributed computing.” (Dana Petcu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1252, 2012)
