    Standardizing Workflow execution by using CWL

    The current workflow execution and monitoring are not very user-friendly.
    We would like to make these simpler and use standard technologies.
    
    The goals of this project are as follows:
    1) A specification for passing task DAG information from the client to the Airavata API
    2) Interpreting the DAG inside workflow engine
    3) Executing and monitoring the tasks
    
    1) A specification for passing task DAG information from the client to the Airavata API:
    We are considering [Common Workflow Language](https://github.com/common-workflow-language/common-workflow-language)
    
    2) Interpreting the DAG inside workflow engine: We considered [Airflow|https://airflow.incubator.apache.org/], but it is probably not the best fit for our requirements. We are currently looking at [CWL tool](https://github.com/common-workflow-language/cwltool)
    
    3) Executing and monitoring the tasks: Need to confirm whether to keep this task in this project or not
