We introduce a universal client (OmniFlow) whose GUI can be readily configured by the user to invoke any number of applications, concurrently or sequentially, anywhere on the network. The design and the implementation of the client is based on the principles of taskflow-oriented programming, whereby we merge concepts from structured programming, hardware description, and mark-up languages. A mark-up language such as XML supports a well-defined schema that captures the decomposition of a program into a hierarchy of tasks, each representing an instance of a blackbox or a whitebox software component. The HDL-like input/output port definitions capture data-task-data dependencies. A highly interactive hierarchical GUI, rendered from the hierarchical taskflow descriptions in extended XML, supports structured programming language constructs to control sequences of task synchronization, execution, repetition, and abort.Experimental evaluations of the prototype, up to 9150 tasks and the longest path of 1600 tasks, demonstrate the scalability of the environment and the overall effectiveness of the proposed architecture for a number of networked design and computing projects.
