Title: Scientific Workflow Generation and Benchmarking  
 
Abstract: Scientific workflows are an essential tool in modern scientific computing. They are used to describe complex computational applications that often demand significant computational power, storage capacity, and communication capabilities. As a result, scientific workflows are processed on a wide variety of large-scale platforms, including local clusters, cloud systems, and (exascale) High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Addressing the needs of ever-more complex and large contemporary workflow applications requires research and development in Workflow Management Systems (WMS) algorithms, systems,  and user interfaces. The literature in this area is rich but fragmented due to its rapid expansion. This thesis introduces the WfCommons framework, which offers foundational, standardized, general-purpose, and WSM-agnostic tools for analyzing, generating, and benchmarking scientific workflows
