IEEE 2010 Fourth International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF
2010)
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
Miama, Florida, U.S.A., one day between July 5-10, 2010
<br>
<br>
In conjunction with IEEE ICWS 2010, IEEE SCC 2010, IEEE CLOUD 2010, and
IEEE SERVICES 2010

Description
<br>
Scientific workflows have become an increasingly popular paradigm for
scientists to formalize and structure complex scientific processes to
enable and accelerate many significant scientific discoveries. A
scientific workflow is a formal specification of a scientific process,
which represents, streamlines, and automates the analytical and
computational steps that a scientist needs to go through from dataset
selection and integration, computation and analysis, to final data
product presentation and visualization. A scientific workflow
management system (SWFMS) is a system that supports the specification,
modification, execution, failure handling, and monitoring of a
scientific workflow using the workflow logic to control the order of
executing workflow tasks. The importance of scientific workflows has
been recognized by NSF since 2006 and was reemphasized recently in an
science article titled “Beyond the Data Deluge” (Science, Vol. 323. no.
5919, pp. 1297 – 1298, 2009), which concluded, “In the future, the
rapidity with which any given discipline advances is likely to depend
on how well the community acquires the necessary expertise in database,
workflow management, visualization, and cloud computing technologies.”
<br>
<br>
The goal of SWF 2010 is to provide a forum for researchers and
practitioners to present their recent research results and best
practices of scientific workflows, and identify the emerging trends,
opportunities, problems, and challenges in this area. Authors are
invited to submit regular papers (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages)
that show original unpublished research results in all areas of
scientific workflows. Topics of interest are listed below; however,
submissions on all aspects of scientific workflows are welcome.
<br>
<br>
List of topics
<br>
* Scientific workflow provenance management and analytics
<br>
* Scientific workflow data, metadata, service, and task management
<br>
* Scientific workflow architectures, models, languages, systems, and
algorithms
<br>
* Scientific workflow monitoring, debugging, and failure handling
<br>
* Streaming data processing in scientific workflows
<br>
* Pipelined, data, workflow, and task parallelism in scientific
workflows
<br>
* Cloud, Service, Grid, or hybrid scientific workflows
<br>
* Data, metadata, compute, user-interaction, or visualization-intensive
scientific workflows
<br>
* Scientific workflow composition
<br>
* Security issues in scientific workflows
<br>
* Data integration and service integration in scientific workflows
<br>
* Scientific workflow mapping, optimization, and scheduling
<br>
* Scientific workflow modeling, simulation, analysis, and verification
<br>
* Scalability, reliability, extensibility, agility, and
interoperability
<br>
* Scientific workflow applications
<br>
