....a simulator. The Reuben client represents the first generation of a user configurable GUI environment to create executable workflows of tools and data on the network, an approach that has been formalized and extended to asynchronous and synchronous collaborative OmniFlow OmniDesk environments in [7]. The OpenDesign is a prototype environment created with the first generation of the OmniFlow [6] bringing together participants from MIT, MSU, and NCSU, to prototype a design flow demo of distributed tools residing on servers at MIT (CollabTop) MSU (JavaCADD) and NCSU (Xact) 8] The current ....

A comprehensive description of OmniFlow project drivers, including the one in Figure 1, is given in [7]; related experiments with an earlier OmniFlow version are also described in [6] A state of a typical GUI created by the OmniFlow client.

....view or edit data, descend ascend the taskflow hierarchy, select the mode of execution, invoke the taskflow, abort the taskflow (if already executing) reset the state of the taskflow, etc. 1. INTRODUCTION The concepts of taskflow oriented programming with distributed components, introduced in [1] and the focus of the companion paper [2] provide the basis for the implementation of a universal, user configurable client presented in this paper. In principle, the client may be implemented in any number of popular programming languages and the user may not particularly care about this ....

....by design. If we do not access components via telnet or ssh (when the implementation also requires expect [15] the OmniFlow client described in this paper executes without modifications under unix, linux, MacOS, and WindowsNT operating systems. Implementation Architecture. As described in [1, 2], taskflow oriented programming relies on a recursive schema of encapsulated blackbox (whitebox) component instances. Each stand alone component is represented as a blackbox component; a whitebox is simply a composition of blackbox and whitebox components. Each encapsulated component instance is ....

....FSMDs, each supporting a simple hand shaking protocol with the attached blackbox (whitebox) component. Not surprisingly, notions of a blackbox, a whitebox, and an encapsulation used in this paper have a context that is specific to the proposed task instance architecture, first introduced in [11]. The paper is organized into several sections: 2) Background and Motivation, 3) Taskflow Architecture that introduces TaskGraph, DataGraph, FSMD, ControlJoin, ControlFork, and DataMux, 4) Taskflow Schema and Scheduling, 4) Representative Taskflow Patterns, and (5) Summary and Conclusions. 2. ....

....and (5) Summary and Conclusions. 2. BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION To a large extent, two project drivers motivated the development of the universal user configurable client: one involved a prototype testbed for distributed experimental design and performance evaluation of graph based algorithms [11, 12], the other a distributed VLSI design flow environment consisting of commercial and university based tools, some residing at MSU, some at MIT, and some at NCSU [11, 13] At a first glance, the two projects would not appear to have much in common. However, when we organize the computational tasks ....
