DELWPs
DELWPs, short for Distributed Extensible Lightweight Workflow Packages, refer to a class of modular software artifacts designed to orchestrate and execute workflows across distributed computing environments. Each DELWP is a self-contained package that packages task definitions, resource bindings, and execution logic in a portable, parameterizable form. They are intended to enable teams to deploy complex workflows on heterogeneous infrastructures, including cloud, on-premises clusters, and edge devices, with reduced coupling to a specific scheduler or runtime.
A typical DELWP comprises a descriptor that defines tasks, dependencies, and inputs/outputs; an execution engine or
DELWPs are used to manage data processing pipelines, scientific workflows, and IoT or edge computing scenarios
