[Swift-devel] [Fwd: [Dbworld] 2nd CFP: Special issue on Scientific Workflows in IJBPIM]

[Ioan Raicu]

Here might be a good venue for a future paper on Swift/Falkon, with a 
May 1st deadline.

Cheers,
Ioan

Special Issue on Scientific Workflows
International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM)
http://www.cs.wayne.edu/~shiyong/swf/ijbpim09.html


Description
Scientific workflows have recently emerged as a new 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 recovery, 
and monitoring of a scientific workflow using the workflow logic to control the order of 
executing workflow tasks. 

The goal of this special issue is to present critical challenges, requirements, and issues 
related to scientific workflows. This collection of manuscripts will discuss key aspects 
in the development of a broad range of novel and innovative scientific workflow technologies. 
The emphasis of the special issue is on critical challenges in the development of various 
scientific workflows specifically as they relate to business workflow and service technologies. 
Particular emphasis will be placed on examples where innovative solutions to these challenges 
have resulted in scientific workflows which impact the scientific discovery process. Topics 
include but are not limited to:

List of topics
¡¤	Scientific workflow provenance management
¡¤	Scientific workflow provenance analytics
¡¤	Scientific workflow data, metadata, service, and task management
¡¤	Scientific workflow architectures, models, and languages
¡¤	Scientific workflow monitoring and failure handling
¡¤	Streaming data processing in scientific workflows
¡¤	Pipelined, data, workflow, and task parallelism in scientific workflows
¡¤	Service, Grid, or Cloud-based scientific workflows
¡¤	Data, metadata, compute, user-interaction, or visualization-intensive scientific workflows
¡¤	Scientific workflow composition
¡¤	Security issues in scientific workflows 
¡¤	Data integration and service integration in scientific workflows
¡¤	Scientific workflow mapping, optimization, and scheduling
¡¤	Scientific workflow modeling, verification, and validation 
¡¤	Scalability, reliability, extensibility, agility, and interoperability    
¡¤	Scientific workflow real-life applications
 

Important dates
¡¤	May 1, 2009, paper submission
¡¤	August 1, 2009, notification
¡¤	November 1, 2009, camera-ready version
