DNA fragment assembly is an area which nowadays makes intensive use of computers. However, computer users in this field are typically not experts in computer science, but build their working environment on an ad-hoc basis. In this situation, it seems appropriate to offer a kind of support which can contribute to a better organization of working environments, and a better exploitation of computer hard- and software. We describe an approach in this direction based on the emerging paradigms of workflow modeling and management. In particular, we offer three contributions: First, we discuss why workflow management can fruitfully be adopted in DNA fragment assembly, and describe one way to perceive and model sequencing processes as workflows. Second, we outline an architecture of a system intended to support sequencing applications, whose core component is a workflow management system. Finally, we sketch our experience in building a prototype using commercial workflow management technology.
