Abstract
Scientists use computational experiments to study natural phenomena through the lens of software tools and computer programs. A computational experiment consists of a description of how selected datasets are to be processed by a series of software components, in what order, and with what parameter configurations. Designing computational experiments for scientific analysis is a challenging task for scientists. We present a novel approach to explore the space of possible experiments efficiently starting from varying degrees of detail and varying amounts of constraints. Our approach represents computational experiments as workflows and exploits semantic representations of datasets and software components to reason about the experiment design space. We show how the Wings workflow system can automatically track constraints, ultimately enabling scientists to focus on the core aspects of their experiments and goals.
