Within the DistriNet Research Group of the Dept. of Computer Science, KU Leuven we gather more than 15 researchers working on and with middleware platforms for software-as-a-service (SaaS) and business-process-as-a-service (BPaaS). We currently focus on multiple research challenges in the domain of cloud-enabled workflows:
- scalability in hybrid clouds, the distribution of workflow tasks, load balancing and interoperability,
- security support in workflow middleware including advanced authentication, authorization and audit tactics,
- federated and decentralized execution platforms for large-scale workflows,
- customization of workflows and adaptive workflows on a per-customer and per-tenant basis.
We apply our findings in case studies in innovative application domains of cloud computing such as e-health, e-finance, e-media and e-government.
