Overview of our activity
Web Service Workflow Lab. provides workflows composed of Web services
required for the Language Grid Project. Members of the laboratory are
mainly researchers and graduate students who have expertise on
techniques of Web services and workflows.
Workflows on the Language Grid are composed of Web
services, such as dictionaries and morphological analyzers provided by
the Language Resource Wrapping Project, and these workflows have
complicated functionalities for applications. For example, a workflow
for translating technical documents is composed of translation engines,
morphological analyzers and technical term dictionaries that translate
technical terms.
In the Language Grid Project, workflows are described
in WS-BPEL. The workflows are interpreted and executed by the WS-BPEL
engine embedded in the Language Grid infrastructure.
We are currently applying our experience of the use of
workflows to the following research issues: applying semantic Web
technologies to the composition of workflows, and the discovery/reuse
of patterns of Web service composition.
Activities
Our main activities are as follows:
- Producing workflows for Language Grid
- We have produced a wide variety of workflows used by applications developed in Language Grid Project.
- Tutorial on creating workflow
- We have given tutorials on workflows in BPEL. The tutorials enable participants to easily understand
how to describe workflows by focusing on composition of language services.
Join us
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in workflows.
