Abstract


Cloud computing enabled computational loads composed by dependent tasks, in a workflow structure. These dependence relationships demand specific characteristics in the resource management algorithms, which efficiency can be evaluated through simulation. However, the simulators normally used to test such methods, either do not support the workflow modeling, or require knowledge of some programming language from their user. Thus, it is proposed in this work a simple and robust graphic approach to model interdependencies between tasks.
Keywords: workflow, simulation, cloud, distributed systems
