  The increasing risk of epidemics and a fast-growing world population has
contributed to a great investment in phylogenetic analysis, in order to track
numerous diseases and conceive effective medication and treatments.
  Phylogenetic analysis requires large quantities of information to be analyzed
and processed for knowledge extraction, using suitable techniques and,
nowadays, specific software and algorithms, to deliver results as efficiently
and fast as possible. These algorithms and techniques are already provided by
several free and available frameworks and tools. Usually, the process of
phylogenetic analysis consists of several processing steps, which define a
pipeline. Some phylogenetic frameworks have available more than one processing
step, such as inferring phylogenetic trees, data integration, and
visualization, but due to the continuous growth in involved data amounts, each
step may last several hours or days.
  Scientific workflow systems may use high performance computing facilities, if
available, for processing large volumes of data, concurrently. But most of
these scientific workflow systems cannot be easily installed and configured,
are available as centralized services, and, usually, it is not easy to
integrate tools and processing steps available in phylogenetic frameworks.
  This paper summarizes the thesis document of the FLOWViZ framework, which
main goal is to provide a software integration framework between a phylogenetic
framework and a scientific workflow system. This framework makes it possible to
build a customized integration with much fewer lines of code, while providing
existing phylogenetic frameworks with workflow building and execution, to
manage the processing of great amounts of data.
