    IEEE 2011 Fifth International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF
    2011)

WashingtonDC, USA, one day between July 5-10, 2011,

inconjunction with ICWS 2011 <http://conferences.computer.org/icws/>,

      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."

An emerging trend in scientific workflow management research and systems 
is the convergence of concepts, techniques, and tools from both 
scientific workflow and enterprise workflow areas. Although scientific 
workflow systems and enterprise workflow areas have evolved in parallel, 
each has adopted and incorporated the best practices and ideas from the 
other area. One of the main areas of interest is this emerging 
convergence. A concrete example is the leverage of enterprise workflow 
tools and systems in solving scientific/engineering workflow problems, 
particularly in data centers and cloud computing environments. In 
response to this trend, this year, we like to expand the scope of SWF to 
include topics for enterprise workflows as well to foster the 
interaction between these two areas.

The First IEEE International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF 2007) 
was launched at Salt Lake city, Utah, as part of the First IEEE World 
Congress on Services (SERVICES 2007), in conjunction with IEEE SCC/ICWS 
2007, attracting around 20 attendants including 5 presenters and a dozen 
of submissions. SWF 2008 was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, in conjunction 
with IEEE SCC, with around 25 attendants including 9 presenters (3 of 
them were invited speakers) and a dozen of submissions. SWF 2009 was 
held in Los Angeles, CA, in conjunction with IEEE ICWS, with around 30 
attendants including 20 presenters (10 for regular papers, and 10 for 
short papers). SWF 2009 also enjoyed the event of the launch of the 
first IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2009). SWF 
2010 was held in Miami, Florida, with around 25 attendants (9 papers), 
in conjunction with IEEE CLOUD/ICWS/SCC.

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 and enterprise workflows. Topics of interest are 
listed below; however, submissions on all aspects of scientific 
workflows and enterprise workflows are welcome. Accepted papers will be 
included in the proceedings of IEEE SERVICES 2011, which will be 
published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
