  abstract = {The dynamic nature and the geographic distribution of
      scientific resources, require flexible and adaptive computational environment
      where an in-silico experiment can be executed as a workflow
      of activities. In this paper, we propose a software environment to dynamically
      generate domain-specific, agent-based workflow engines from
      workflow specifications. The workflow engine is a proactive multiagent
      system -a distributed, concurrent system- whose autonomous components
      interact in performing the workflow activities in a specific domain.
      The proposed approach has been implemented on Hermes, agent-based
      mobile computing middleware, and tested within “Oncology over Internet”
      project.},
