IT administrators will be able to centrally manage apps and users through automated, highly flexible provisioning and de-provisioning workflows on the Salesforce Platform.
Furthermore, SharePoint 2007 and WSS 3.0 make extensive use of Features to provide capabilities ranging from simple file provisioning to fully functional workflow components.
With such advantages, workflow scheduling research has thus shifted to workflow execution in the cloud [111], providing a paradigm-shifting utility-oriented computing environment with unprecedented size of data center resource pools and on-demand resource provisioning [150], enabling scientific workflow solutions to address petascale problems.
In [30], various strategies for provisioning of virtual machines and workflow scheduling are described.
Existing products offer a variety of functionalities like identity directories for data storage, provisioning engines for user management or workflow capabilities.
This paper presents a distributed workflow-management server architecture which adopts dynamic resource provisioning mechanisms to deal with the probable performance bottleneck.
The functionality of MetaNET can be further extended by including other simulation engines, and provisioning additional functions on demand from a user community, while keeping a consistent interface for models, data-sharing and functional use through shared workflows.
Currently available systems do not meet the analysts' needs which are described as: visual access suitable for complex data structures, visual representations appropriate for IT-security experts, provision of workflow-specific interaction techniques, and the ability to externalize knowledge in the form of rules to ease the analysis process and to share with colleagues.
Kawamoto et al. [ 10] showed that features of automatic provision for decision support as part of clinicians' workflow, provision recommendations rather than only assessments, provision decision support at the time and location of decision making, and computer-based decision support are closely correlated with decision support systems' abilities to significantly enhance patient care.
These are automatic provision of decision support as part of clinician workflow; provision of recommendations rather than just assessments; provision of decision support at the time and location of decision making; and computer based [ 11].
