Abstract

Semantic Grid is becoming a key enabler for next
generation Grid and the need of supporting process
description and enactment, by means of composition of
multiple resources, emerged as one of the fundamental
requirements. Within NextGRID1 project, the idea of
adopting business processes (expressed as workflow
policies) as architectural components in a next
generation Grid has been developed with the aim of
providing architecture with dynamic behaviour and
interoperability.
The need of a semantic workflow representation
language then emerged and was developed defining an
OWL-S extension able to support workflow
description. The resulting OWL-WS (OWL for
Workflow and Services) ontology allows us modelling
concept like abstract and concrete services and
workflows according to a Semantic Workflow Model
also enabling specification of higher-order workflows
and semantic service grouping. This language is being
used for specifying adaptive business processes
(policy) that are used as evaluation and binding
mechanisms by a Workflow Enactment Engine.
