*Second IEEE International Workshop on Workflow Models, Systems, 
Services and Applications in the Cloud (CloudFlow) 2013*
/To be held in conjunction with the 27th IEEE International Parallel & 
Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) 2013, Cambridge, Boston, 
Massachusetts, USA, May 20-24, 2013./
http://www.cloud-uestc.cn/cloudflow/home.html
*Overview*
Cloud computing is gaining tremendous momentum in both academia and 
industry, more and more people are migrating their data and applications 
into the Cloud. We have observed wide adoption of the MapReduce 
computing model and the open source Hadoop system for large scale 
distributed data processing, and a variety of ad hoc mashup techniques 
that weave together Web applications. However, these are just first 
steps towards managing complex task and data dependencies in the Cloud, 
as there are more challenging issues such as large parameter space 
exploration, data partitioning and distribution, scheduling and 
optimization, smart reruns, and provenance tracking associated with 
workflow execution.
Cloud needs structured and mature workflow technologies to handle such 
issues, and vice versa, as Cloud offers unprecedented scalability to 
workflow systems, and could potentially change the way we perceive and 
conduct research and experiments. The scale and complexity of the 
science and data analytics problems that can be handled can be greatly 
increased on the Cloud, and the on-demand nature of resource allocation 
on the Cloud will also help improve resource utilization and user 
experience.
As Cloud computing provides a paradigm-shifting utility-oriented 
computing model in terms of the unprecedented size of datacenter-level 
resource pool and the on-demand resource provisioning mechanism, there 
are lots of challenges in bringing Cloud and workflows together. We need 
high level languages and computing models for large scale workflow 
specification; we need to adapt existing workflow architectures into the 
Cloud, and integrate workflow systems with Cloud infrastructure and 
resources; we also need to leverage Cloud data storage technologies to 
efficiently distribute data over a large number of nodes and explore 
data locality during computation etc. We organize the CloudFlow workshop 
as a venue for the workflow and Cloud communities to define models and 
paradigms, present their state-of-the-art work, share their thoughts and 
experiences, and explore new directions in realizing workflows in the Cloud.
*Topics:*
We welcome the submission of original work related to the topics listed 
below, which include (in the context of Cloud):
? Models and Languages for Large Scale Workflow Specification
? Workflow Architecture and Framework
? Large Scale Workflow Systems
? Service Workflow
? Workflow Composition and Orchestration
? Workflow Migration into the Cloud
? Workflow Scheduling and Optimization
? Cloud Middleware in Support of Workflow
? Virtualized Environment
? Workflow Applications and Case Studies
? Performance and Scalability Analysis
? Peta-Scale Data Processing
? Event Processing and Messaging
? Real-Time Analytics
? Provenance
*Paper Submission*
Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work. 
The papers should not exceed 10 single-spaced double-column pages using 
10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), 
including figures, tables, and references.
Paper submission should be done via the online CMT system, Microsoft?s 
Academic Conference Management Service 
(*https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/CF2013*) by midnight January 9th, 
2013 Pacific Time. The final format should be in PDF. Proceedings of the 
workshop will be published by the IEEE Digital Library (indexed by EI) 
and distributed at the conference. Selected excellent work may be 
eligible for additional post-conference publication as journal articles 
or book chapters. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of 
the authors to register and present the paper.
