Scientific workflows are structured computational processes used to analyze large amounts of data, and are crucial in fields such as climate modeling, health sciences and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Scientific workflows have already supported many ground-breaking discoveries and have now become mainstays in today&#8217;s science,&rdquo; Casanova said. &ldquo;By providing realistic, accurate and usable data that is fundamental to advancing scientific workflows that arise in virtually all fields of science, WfCommons will directly impact the development, the advancement and the sustainability of our society.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Casanova&#8217;s project will create tools and datasets to help better understand, research and serve scientific workflows. The datasets will contain &ldquo;workflow instances&rdquo; that precisely describe the structure and the resource consumptions of real-world production workflows. The exploitation of these datasets will unlock several avenues for improving the scientific workflows that are key to faster and new breakthroughs in scientific fields.<\/p>\n<p>The Information and Computer Sciences Department is housed in <a href=\"https:\/\/natsci.manoa.hawaii.edu\/\"><abbr title=\"东精影业\">东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s College of Natural Sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Henri Casanova&#8217;s project is called WfCommons Tools for Workflow Research, Development, and Education on the CyberInfrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[308,484,1467,1363,568,1600,9],"class_list":["post-200328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research","tag-college-of-natural-sciences","tag-information-and-computer-science","tag-manoa-excellence-in-research","tag-manoa-research","tag-natural-science","tag-public-impact-research","tag-uh-manoa","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200328"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":200335,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200328\/revisions\/200335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
