Abstract Graphical Workflow for Remote Sensing Quantitative Retrieval Service Mapping in the Condor-G Agent for Grid Computing

Abstract graphical Grid workflow can adapt the dynamic nature of Grid environment. It is more intuitive and convenient for user to apply Grid services solving the remote sensing distributable computing problem. This paper firstly introduces the feasibility and advantages of abstract Grid workflow applying for remote sensing quantitative retrieval service. And then it gives the relative research status about science workflow applied to geosciences' domain. In the process of mapping part, the authors illustrate the Condor-G agent for Grid computing. And then the author gives the process steps of mapping. Finally, the authors accomplish a case converting an abstract workflow into the concrete workflow and schedule the workflow in Condor platform by DAGMan.
