In this framework, parallel service is introduced as adaptor and container of parallel block of workflow. In parallel service, workflow is divided into multi sub-workflows, which are dispatched and executed in parallel at different workflow engines in different grid nodes. By this strategy, the performance of workflow can be enhanced greatly. In this paper, we also give a strategy how to guarantee the correctness in complicated network environment by redundant computing. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{workflow optimisation; Grid; e-Science; workflow Parallelization} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-540-72588-6\_40} \end
