Technology trends in software development signify a move from component-based to service-oriented approach, therefore SWF will inevitably need appropriate tools to discover and integrate heterogeneous services. In this paper we present the SODIUM platform consisting of a set of languages and tools as well as related middleware, for the development and execution of scientific workflows composed of heterogeneous services.}, keywords = {JOpera, scientific workflow management}, issn = {0163-5808}, doi = {10.1145/1147376.1147380}, author = {Aphrodite Tsalgatidou and Georgios Athanasopoulos and Michael Pantazoglou and Cesare Pautasso and Thomas Heinis and Roy Gr{\o}nmo and Hoff Hj{\o}rdis and Arne-J{\o}rgen Berre and Magne Glittum and Simela Topouzidou} }
