Abstract

Job workflow systems automate the execution of scientific applications, however they may hide how the results are achieved (i.e., the provenance information of the job workflow execution). This paper describes the development and evaluation of a decentralized recording and collection scheme for job workflow provenance in mobile agent-based distributed job workflow execution. A performance study was conducted to evaluate our approach against the one using a centralized provenance server. The results are discussed in the paper.
