Abstract

This paper describes ongoing efforts on adding interactivity for performing parameter sweep experiments. The literature study and analysis of requirements gathered from use cases in various scientific domains indicate that interactivity is needed but not fully supported by most of existing frameworks designed to support parameter sweep applications. Based on this study we identify the requirements for interactivity during execution of parameter sweep experiments and the type of interactive actions needed to steer parameter sweep execution. Preliminary design of a framework that would support interactivity is presented and it will be analyzed further with Model Driven Architecture modelling approach and ORC to formally analyze grid service interaction used in this framework. The implementation of this framework will be based on existing components from WS-VLAM project.
