Evolving dataflow visualization to service-oriented architectures on the Grid

n this paper, we describe the way in which the dataflow visualization may be carried over to a Service- Oriented architecture, using Web services in a Grid environment. Previous related work in dataflow visualization is reviewed, and used to motivate the idea of a Service-Oriented dataflow pipeline. The concepts of static and dynamic Service-Oriented visualization dataflow are introduced. A demonstrator is used to illustrate static Service-Oriented dataflow – where the dataflow pipeline is fixed- and we also report progress towards dynamic Service-Oriented dataflow – where the pipeline is configurable. Collaboration is an integral part of the design.
