  Nowadays, many scientific workflows from different domains, such as Remote
Sensing, Astronomy, and Bioinformatics, are executed on large computing
infrastructures managed by resource managers. Scientific workflow management
systems (SWMS) support the workflow execution and communicate with the
infrastructures' resource managers. However, the communication between SWMS and
resource managers is complicated by a) inconsistent interfaces between SMWS and
resource managers and b) the lack of support for workflow dependencies and
workflow-specific properties.
  To tackle these issues, we developed the Common Workflow Scheduler Interface
(CWSI), a simple yet powerful interface to exchange workflow-related
information between a SWMS and a resource manager, making the resource manager
workflow-aware. The first prototype implementations show that the CWSI can
reduce the makespan already with simple but workflow-aware strategies up to
25%. In this paper, we show how existing workflow resource management research
can be integrated into the CWSI.
