v1.5

The WfCommons project is an open-source framework offering a suite of structured methods and techniques, implemented as user-friendly tools, for analyzing workflow instances and generating synthetic yet realistic workflow instances.

WfCommons utilizes a standard format, WfFormat, to represent both collected and generated synthetic workflow instances. Workflow simulators and simulation frameworks supporting WfFormat can seamlessly use both types of instances. WfFormat employs a JSON specification. This release also includes a Python-based JSON schema validator to verify the syntax and semantics of JSON instance files, ensuring all files and task dependencies are consistent.

v1.4

The WfCommons project is an open source framework that provides a collection of structured methods and techniques, implemented as part of usable tools, for analyzing workflow instances and producing synthetic, yet realistic, workflow instances.

The WfCommons project uses a common format, WfFormat, for representing collected workflow instances and generated synthetic workflows instances. Workflow simulators and simulation frameworks that support WfFormat can then use both types of instances interchangeably. WfFormat uses a JSON specification. This release also provides a Python-based JSON schema validator for verifying the syntax of JSON trace files, as well as their semantics, e.g., whether all files and task dependencies are consistent.

The WfCommons project uses a common format, WfFormat, for representing collected workflow instances and generated synthetic workflows instances. Workflow simulators and simulation frameworks that support WfFormat can then use both types of instances interchangeably. WfFormat uses a JSON specification. This release also provides a Python-based JSON schema validator for verifying the syntax of JSON trace files, as well as their semantics, e.g., whether all files and task dependencies are consistent.

v1.2

The WfCommons project is an open source community framework that provides a collection of structured methods and techniques, implemented as part of usable tools, for analyzing workflow instances and producing synthetic, yet realistic, workflow instances.

The WfCommons project uses acommon format, WfFormat, for representing collected workflow instances and generated synthetic workflows instances. Workflow simulators and simulation frameworks that support WfFormat can then use both types of instances interchangeably. WfFormat uses a JSON specification. This release also provides a Python-based JSON schema validator for verifying the syntax of JSON trace files, as well as their semantics, e.g., whether all files and task dependencies are consistent.

v1.1

The WfCommons project, an open source community framework that provides a collection of structured methods and techniques, implemented as part of usable tools, for analyzing workflow traces and producing synthetic, yet realistic, workflow traces.

The WfCommons project uses a common format for representing collected workflow traces and generated synthetic workflows traces. Workflow simulators and simulation frameworks that support this common format can then use both types of traces interchangeably. This common format uses a JSON specification, which captures all relevant trace information as listed above.

This release also provides a Python-based JSON schema validator for verifying the syntax of JSON trace files, as well as their semantics, e.g., whether all files and task dependencies are consistent.

v1.0

The WorkflowHub project, an open source community framework that provides a collection of structured methods and techniques, implemented as part of usable tools, for analyzing workflow traces and producing synthetic, yet realistic, workflow traces.

The WorkflowHub project uses a common format for representing collected workflow traces and generated synthetic workflows traces. Workflow simulators and simulation frameworks that support this common format can then use both types of traces interchangeably. This common format uses a JSON specification, which captures all relevant trace information as listed above.

This release also provides a Python-based JSON schema validator for verifying the syntax of JSON trace files, as well as their semantics, e.g., whether all files and task dependencies are consistent.
