heal.abstract	The advent of Grid environments made feasible the solution of computational intensive problems in a reliable and cost-effective way. As workflow systems carry out more complex and mission-critical applications, Quality of Service (QoS) analysis serves to ensure that each application meets user requirements. In that frame, we present a novel algorithm which allows the mapping of workflow processes to Grid provided services assuring at the same time end-to-end provision of QoS based on user-defined parameters and preferences. We also demonstrate the operation of the implemented algorithm and evaluate its effectiveness using a Grid scenario, based on a 3D image rendering application. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
