[Swift-devel] CFP deadline 3/17/10: IEEE 2010 Fourth International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF 2010)

[Ioan Raicu]

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE 2010 Fourth International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF 2010)
http://www.cs.wayne.edu/~shiyong/swf
Miama, Florida, U.S.A., one day between July 5-10, 2010

In conjunction with IEEE ICWS 2010, IEEE SCC 2010, IEEE CLOUD 2010, and 
IEEE SERVICES 2010

Description
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.”

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that show original unpublished research results in all areas of 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.

List of topics
* Scientific workflow provenance management and analytics
* Scientific workflow data, metadata, service, and task management
* Scientific workflow architectures, models, languages, systems, and 
algorithms
* Scientific workflow monitoring, debugging, and failure handling
* Streaming data processing in scientific workflows
* Pipelined, data, workflow, and task parallelism in scientific workflows
* Cloud, Service, Grid, or hybrid 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, simulation, analysis, and verification
* Scalability, reliability, extensibility, agility, and interoperability
* Scientific workflow applications

Important dates
* Paper Submission March 17, 2010
* Decision Notification (Electronic) April 17, 2010
* Camera-Ready Submission & Pre-registration April 30, 2010

Paper submission
All papers should be submitted via the SWF workshop submission system at
