Distributed scientific and engineering computations on service-oriented architectures are often represented as data-driven workflows. Workflows are a convenient abstraction that allows users to compose applications in a visual programming environment, and execute them by means of a workflow execution engine. For a large class of scientific applications web-based portals can provide a user-friendly problem-solving environment that hides the complexities of executing workflow applications in a distributed environment. However, the creation and configuration of an application portal requires considerable expertise in portal technologies, which scientific end-users generally do not have. To address this problem this paper presents tools for automatically converting a workflow into a fully configured portal which can then be used to execute the workflow.

As Internet of Things (IoT)-based sensors have emerged recently, new technologies are being developed for users to provide suitable services by recognizing the surrounding situations. In the service robot sector, many researches are being carried out in order to exploit the collected data from IoT-based sensors. In addition, researches on robot middleware using context information are actively performed. In this paper, we propose a robot SW platform, which provides IoT-based context-aware services. This robot software platform consists of Ontology Agent, Robot Service Execution Engine, and Context Handler. The Ontology Agent is a module that searches information, such as sensor location, value type, etc., of the IoT devices stored in Ontology Repository and provides them to the Context Handler. The Context Handler reads IoT devices’ data and checks whether service transition conditions are met. If the conditions are satisfied, the data is delivered to the Robot Service Execution Engine, which is in charge of executing services. In experiments, we show a procedure executing the context-aware robot services through definition of robot services, a robot service execution engine, and a context handler, etc.
