Abstract
In this paper, we present a workflow system which manages efficiently operations in workflow form. The workflow of this system is made up of concepts of meta-services for increasing reusability. Thus users can execute the workflow by calling their services. Also, GUI workflow editor is developed with the workflow system which provides users with convenience. Furthermore the workflow model is divided into 3-layers such as service, flow, and task layer for reusability and scalability of workflow. Therefore, this middleware can use grid resources effectively and offer convenience to users.
