Hi Lavanya, I was pleasantly surprised to see you are still furthering the idea of workflow emulator, this paper seem to be very recent [1]. We had unfinished workflow emulators which we offered as GSoC projects last year and we are resurrecting it now. I will advice the students to shamelessly steal ideas from your paper.
Hi Shameera, I was about to re-write Saminda's task description on the emulators, but Lavanya's paper [1] saved me some time. Why don't you read through the paper and propose back concrete GSoC tasks you see as applicable to current Airavata Workflow Interpreter. Do not worry to take the approaches literally and be liberal in your thinking and implementation. But the paper should give you a good head start. As you explore Airavata, just throw some ideas and we will help you refine them.
