[Swift-devel] CFP: IEEE 2009 Third International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF 2009)

[Ioan Raicu]

IEEE 2009 Third International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF 2009)
Los Angeles, USA, July 7, 2009
http://www.servicescongress.org/2009/1/swf-2009.html
In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS
2009)


Call for Papers
Today, many scientific discoveries are achieved through complex and
distributed scientific computations that are represented and structured
as scientific workflows. User friendly scientific workflow systems are
increasingly being developed to enable e-scientists to integrate,
structure, and orchestrate various local or remote data and service
resources to perform various in silico experiments to produce
interesting scientific discovery. The critical role of scientific
workflows in cyberinfrastructure bas been recognized by a recent NSF
workshop on the challenges of scientific workflows in May 2006, which
concluded that “workflows should become first-class entities in
cyberinfrastructure architecture. For domain scientists, they are
important because workflows document and manage the increasingly complex
processes involved in exploration and discovery through computations.
For computer scientists, workflows provide a formal and declarative
representation of complex distributed computations that must be managed
efficiently through their lifecycle from assembly, to execution, to
sharing.”

Authors are invited to submit regular papers (8 pages), short papers (4
pages), and demo papers (2 pages) that show original unpublished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. For demo papers, at least one author
is expected to present a demo in the workshop during the demo session,
special arrangement will be made to meet the need of the authors.
Accepted SWF 2009 papers will be included in the proceedings of SERVICES
2009 (Part I), which will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

Topics
• Architecture, model, and language
• Provenance management
• Task management
• Workflow scheduling
• Data product management
• Monitoring and failure handling • Service, Grid, and Cloud workflows

10, 2009, camera-ready version due.
