Survey on EO Workflow Engineering

We are currently conducting a survey aiming to identify key challenges scientists encounter when working on scientific workflows. As part of this research project we are developing a framework designed to streamline and facilitate the execution of these workflows. Consequently, your feedback will help us quantify the key issues this framework must address to provide maximum benefit to its future users.
