Modern web technologies facilitate the creation of high-quality data visualizations, and rich, interactive components across a wide variety of devices. Scientific workflow systems can greatly benefit from these technologies by giving scientists a better understanding of their data or model leading to new insights. While several projects have enabled web access to scientific workflow systems, they are primarily organized as a large portal server encapsulating the workflow engine. In this vision paper, we propose the design for , a lightweight framework that integrates web technologies with the Kepler Scientific Workflow System. By embedding a web server in the Kepler process, Kepler WebView enables a wide variety of usage scenarios that would be difficult or impossible using the portal model.
现代网络技术有助于创建高质量的数据可视化效果,以及在各种设备上实现丰富的交互式组件。科学工作流系统可以从这些技术中大大受益,因为它们能让科学家更好地理解自己的数据或模型,从而带来新的见解。虽然有几个项目已实现了通过网络访问科学工作流系统,但它们主要是作为封装工作流引擎的大型门户服务器来组织的。在这篇展望论文中,我们提出了Kepler WebView的设计方案,这是一个将网络技术与开普勒科学工作流系统集成的轻量级框架。通过在开普勒进程中嵌入一个网络服务器,Kepler WebView实现了使用门户模型难以实现或无法实现的各种使用场景。
