Abstract

Grid workflow applications are emerging as an important new alternative to develop truly distributed applications for the grid platform. The modeling of grid workflow system is a challenging task, due to the high degree of autonomy and heterogeneity of the cooperative organizations under distributed environments. This paper presents a formal specification methodology for grid workflow modeling which is founded upon the Pi-Calculus process algebra. This method works well for characterizing the behaviors and interactions of the grid workflow processes that belong to different organizations in terms of the semantics of Pi-Calculus.
