Cross-cloud workflow management

Abstract:

A method of workflow management in a cloud computing system that includes generating a workflow graph from a workflow definition, the workflow graph including nodes representing work-elements; generating a stream matrix from the workflow graph, the stream matrix including pointers to lists of the work-elements, each of the lists representing a workstream; processing the stream matrix to place work-elements in a platform service pipeline for the cloud computing system based on resource availability of the platform service pipeline; and removing work-elements from the lists and the platform service pipeline upon completion.
