An important function of an WMS during the workflow execution, or enactment, is the coordination of operation of individual components that constitute the workflow â the process also often referred to as orchestration.

Additional difficulties arise from the need to deal with the â¨incompatible data formats that various services produce or consume. â¨It is evident that considerable amount of computer science knowledge is required to overcome the â¨outlined problems; however, domain scientists across disciplines do not have sufficient relevant â¨expertise.
Scientific workflows and WMSs have emerged to solve this problem and provide an easy-to-use â¨way of specifying the tasks that have to be performed during a specific in silico experiment. The â¨need to combine several tools into a single research analysis still holds, but technical details of â¨workflow execution are now delegated to Workflow Management Systems.
