Application scenarios using serpens suite for Kepler scientific workflow system

Paper in proceeding, 2012

This paper presents the overview of exploitation scenarios making use of the Serpens suite for the Kepler workflow orchestration system. The proposed framework provides researchers with an easy-to-use, workflow-based environment for scientific computations. It allows execution of various applications coming from different disciplines, in various distributed computational environments using a user-friendly interface. This research has been driven initially by Nuclear Fusion applications' requirements, where the leading idea was to enhance the modeling capabilities for ITER sized plasma research by providing access to High Performance Computing resources. Several usage scenarios are being presented with an example of applications from the field of Nuclear Fusion, Astrophysics and Computational Chemistry.
