A Novel Approach for Bioinformatics Workflow Discovery

Workflow systems are typical fit for in the explorative research of bioinformaticians. These systems can help bioinformaticians to design and run their experiments and to automatically capture and store the data generated at runtime. On the other hand, Web services are increasingly used as the preferred method for accessing and processing the information coming from the diverse life science sources. In this work we provide an efficient approach for creating bioinformatic workflow for all-service architecture systems (i.e., all system components are services ). This architecture style simplifies the user interaction with workflow systems and facilitates both the change of individual components, and the addition of new components to adopt to other workflow tasks if required. We finally present a case study for the bioinformatics domain to elaborate the applicability of our proposed approach.
