Summary



Scientific workflows have been used almost universally across scientific domains and have underpinned some of the most significant discoveries of the past several decades. Workflow management systems (WMSs) provide abstraction and automation, which enable a broad range of researchers to easily define sophisticated computational processes and to then execute them efficiently on parallel and distributed computing systems. As workflows have been adopted by a number of scientific communities, they are becoming more complex and require more sophisticated workflow management capabilities. A workflow now can analyze terabyte-scale data sets, be composed of one million individual tasks, require coordination between heterogeneous tasks, manage tasks that execute for milliseconds to hours, and can process data streams, files, and data placed in object stores. The computations can be single core workloads, loosely coupled computations, or tightly all within a single workflow, and can run in dispersed computing platforms, from edge to core resources.



This workshop focuses on the many facets of scientific workflow management systems, ranging from actual execution to service management and the coordination and optimization of data, service, and job dependencies. The workshop covers a broad range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that include: scientific workflows representation and enactment; workflow scheduling techniques to optimize the execution of the workflow on heterogeneous infrastructures; workflow enactment engines that need to deal with failures in the application and execution environment; and a number of computer science problems related to scientific workflows such as semantic technologies, compiler methods, scheduling and fault detection and tolerance.

Topics of Interest



WORKS 2023 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but not limited to:



  *   Big Data analytics workflows, AI/ML workflows

  *   Data-driven workflow processing and stream-based workflows

  *   Workflow composition, tools, orchestrators, and languages

  *   Workflow execution in distributed environments (including edge, grid, HPC, clusters, and clouds)

  *   Workflows integrating emerging technologies (e.g., quantum, neuromorphic)

  *   FAIR computational workflows

  *   Dynamic data dependent workflow systems solutions

  *   Exascale computing with workflows

  *   In situ data analytics workflows

  *   Interactive/human-in-the-loop workflows and steering

  *   Workflow fault-tolerance and recovery techniques

  *   Workflow user environments, including portals

  *   Workflow applications and their requirements

  *   Adaptive workflows

  *   Resource provisioning for workflows (elasticity, control, and management)

  *   Workflow optimizations (including scheduling and energy efficiency)

  *   Performance analysis of workflows

  *   Workflow debugging

  *   Workflow provenance

  *   Serverless workflows and serverless orchestration



There will be two forms of presentations:



  *   Talks - Full papers (up to 12 pages) describing a research contribution in the topics listed above.

  *   Lightning Talks - Abstracts (up to 4 pages) describing a novel tool, scientific workflow, or concept.



Submission of a full paper may result in a talk. Submission of an abstract may result in a lightning talk. Each submission will receive at least three reviews from the workshop program committee.



Important Dates



August 11, 2023: Papers and Abstracts Submission

September 8, 2023: Paper and Abstract Acceptance Notifications

September 29, 2023: Camera-ready Submissions

November 12, 2023: WORKS Workshop at SC23



Submissions



  *   Full papers: Submissions are limited to 12 pages. The 12-page limit includes figures, tables, appendices, and references.

  *   Abstracts: Submissions are limited to 4 pages (including references). The 4-page limit includes the description of a novel tool/science workflow/concept, and a link of a repository in which the novel source-code of the tool is stored. This repository will need to specify all the instructions necessary to execute the tool, so reviewers can test it. Abstracts will be compiled into a single paper and published as part of the workshop proceedings.

The format of the paper should follow ACM manuscript guidelines. Templates are available from this link: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template



Papers must be submitted electronically via Linklings: https://submissions.supercomputing.org<https://submissions.supercomputing.org/<https://submissions.supercomputing.org%3chttps:/submissions.supercomputing.org/>>
