Hi All, Also please do not get too carries away with workflow description. Airavata's key goal is to provide abstraction over distributed computing applications. The decisions on what application description should look like should be based on if it can cover all the intended use cases. The Open Grid Forum's JSDL's specification will be a good reference for skimming through - http://www.gridforum.org/documents/GFD.56.pdf
