Concretely, the workshop is expected to provide insight into:</span><br><span></span><br><span>- performance issues: efficient data processing using cloud-based workflows,</span><br><span>- modelling issues: best practices in data-intensive workflow modelling and enactment,</span><br><span>- support technology issues: how the potential synergy between large-scale data processing and workflow technology can be exploited in a principled way.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The workshop aims to address issues of (i) Architecture, (ii) Models and Languages, (iii) Applications of cloud-based workflows. Specific topics include (but, as usual, are not limited to):</span><br><span></span><br><span>Architectures:</span><br><span>+ cloud-based, scalable workflow enactment architectures,</span><br><span>+ efficient data storage for data-intensive workflows,</span><br><span>+ optimizing execution of data-intensive workflows,</span><br><span>+ workflow scheduling in cloud computing.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Models, Languages:</span><br><span>+ languages for data-intensive workflows, data processing pipelines and data-mashups,</span><br><span>+ verification and validation of data-intensive workflows,</span><br><span>+ programming models for cloud computing,</span><br><span>+ access control and authorisation models, privacy, security, risk and trust issues,</span><br><span>+ workflow patterns for data-intensive workflows.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Applications of cloud-based workflow:</span><br><span>+ bioinformatics,</span><br><span>+ data mashups,</span><br><span>+ semantic web data management,</span><br><span>+ big data analytics.</span><br><span></span><br><span>----------------</span><br><span>SUBMISSION GUIDELINES</span><br><span>----------------</span><br><span>We invite full research or experience papers (up to 12 pages), or short papers (up to 6 pages) describing research in progress,</span><br><span>formatted using the ACM proceedings style (<a href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates">http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates</a>)</span><br><span></span><br><span>----------------</span><br><span>PUBLICATION</span><br><span>----------------</span><br><span>The workshop proceedings will be part published by CEUR and will be included in the ACM DL.</span><br><span></span><br><span>In addition, we have an agreement with the Fundamenta Informaticae journal to fast-track a few selected paper for further publication.</span><br><span></span><br><span>---------------------------</span><br><span>KEYNOTE</span><br><span>---------------------------</span><br><span>Dr. Pawel Garbacki from Google Inc.: "Data Processing at Scale"</span><br><span></span><br><span>---------------------------</span><br><span>CHAIRS</span><br><span>---------------------------</span><br><span>Jan Hidders, TU Delft, The Netherlands</span><br><span>Jacek Sroka University of Warsaw, Poland</span><br><span>Paolo Missier, Newcastle University, UK</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>---------------------------</span><br><span>Program Committee</span><br><span>---------------------------</span><br><span></span><br><span>Sarah Cohen-Boulakia, LRI, Universite Paris-Sud, France</span><br><span>Juliana Freire, NYU Poly, USA</span><br><span>Khalid Belhajjame, University of Manchester, UK</span><br><span>Vasa Curcin, Imperial college, London, UK</span><br><span>Paul Groth, VU University Amsterdam, NL</span><br><span>Paul Watson, Newcastle University, UK</span><br><span>Hugo Hiden, Newcastle University, UK</span><br><span>Matthew Jones, University of California Santa Barbara, USA</span><br><span>Bertram Ludaescher, UC Davis, USA</span><br><span>Marta Mattoso, COPPE- Federal Univ.
