       "Workflow Management of Grid Applications using
        High-Level PetriNets"


Grid applications are commonly composed of several services, working
together in an application-specific manner following  the paradigm
of a service-oriented architecture. The automation of the control
and data flow between these services is called workflow.

This talk focuses on how High-Level Petri Nets can be applied for
an effective workflow management regarding the choreography, the
orchestration, and the execution of Grid applications. The
choreography deals with the abstract modeling of Grid applications
whereas the orchestration regards the mapping onto concrete software
components and the Grid infrastructure. During the execution of Grid
applications runtime issues, such as synchronization, persistence,
transaction-safety, and fault management have to be regarded.
