Makeflow Paper at SWEET

Michael Albrecht will present our paper Makeflow: A Portable Abstraction for Data Intensive Computing on Clusters, Clouds, and Grids at the workshop on Scalable Workflow Enactment Engines and Technologies (SWEET), held with the SIGMOD conference.

This paper gives an overview of the Makeflow workflow engine, and presents a technique for evaluating the performance of workflows across multiple execution systems including Condor, SGE, Hadoop, and Work Queue. The software is currently available for download, and used by a growing open source community.
