What is Grid Workflow

Chapter 12
Handbook of Research on Computational Grid Technologies for Life Sciences, Biomedicine, and Healthcare
In general, a workflow can be considered as the automation of a specific process which can further be divided into smaller tasks. A Grid workflow consists of several tasks that need to be executed in a Grid environment but not necessarily on the same computing hardware.

Abstract
Proteomics is currently one of the most promising fields in bioinformatics as it provides important insights into the protein function of organisms. Mass spectrometry is one of the techniques to study the proteome, and several software tools exist for this purpose. The authors provide an extendable software platform called swissPIT that combines different existing tools and exploits Grid infrastructures to speed up the data analysis process for the proteomics pipeline.
