2. Workflows for Heliophysics What advantages ? – Formal representation of a process – Allows to handle very complex programs – Allows sharing of knowledge through repositories.

3. Workflows for Heliophysics What are they for ? – Propagation Models – Search metadata – Extract metadata

4. Workflows for Heliophysics Where do they come from ? – Propagation Models WS-PGRADE (TCD-SCSS & Others) – Search metadata TAVERNA (HELIO) – Extract metadata WS-PGRADE (TCD-PHY & TCD-SCSS)

5. Propagation Models A propagation model is used to help determine which observations, where and when may be of interest in order to satisfy the user's search criteria.

13. LO-FAR LOFAR is a real-time multiple sensor array. Very different sensors can be placed along a common infrastructure and make use of it the same time. Analysis of raw frequency data requires significant storage and computation resources. We are developing a standardizes processing and storage workflow to the community to be easily configured

23. Counts the number of events for a period.

24. Fastest CMEs Propagation This workflow is used to investigate one of the most relevant events in HELIOphysics; Coronal Mass Ejections. The propagation of these events is studied throughout the Solar System by the means of the execution of the SHEBA propagation model on the HELIO Processing Service.
