Abstract:
This work developed a workflow engine that enables the execution of workflows on existing Cloud platforms. The workflow engine automatically delivers the comput ation of each individual task to the selected Cloud and transfers the input/outp ut data across different platforms. Additionally, it predicts the execution time and payment of the tasks, helping users select the best Cloud services with res pect to the performance vs. cost tradeoff.
