==Comparisons between workflow systems==

With a large number of bioinformatics workflow systems to choose from,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://s.apache.org/existing-workflow-systems|title=Existing Workflow systems|website=Common Workflow Language wiki|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191017094453/https://github.com/common-workflow-language/common-workflow-language/wiki/Existing-Workflow-systems|archive-date=2019-10-17|url-status=live|access-date=2019-10-17}}</ref>, it becomes difficult to understand and compare the features of the different workflow systems. There has been little work conducted in evaluating and comparing the systems from a bioinformatician's perspective, especially when it comes to comparing the data types they can deal with, the in-built functionalities that are provided to the user or even their performance or usability. Examples of existing comparisons include:

* The paper "Scientific workflow systems-can one size fit all?",<ref name="CIBEC 2008"/> which provides a high-level framework for comparing workflow systems based on their control flow and data flow properties. The systems compared include [[Discovery Net]], [[Taverna workbench|Taverna]], Triana, [[Kepler scientific workflow system|Kepler]] as well as Yawl and [[Business Process Execution Language|BPEL]].
