Abstract

The evolution of Science has been supported by complex computerized infrastructures with growing interest in simulation based experiments. This trend can also be observed in Software Engineering. Our capacity of acquiring evidences to describe phenomena of interest in the field allowed the building of in silico models that can virtually replicate feasible software behaviors and improve our capacity of observation. In silico experiments demand additional concerns for its planning. One of them is regarding the scientific workflow conception. This task is not easy and to apply ad-hoc approaches can risky the experiment execution, validity and future replications. Regarding this topic, this paper presents some initial results from our research towards an approach to support the conception of scientific workflows for in silico experiments in Software Engineering are presented.
