IEEE 2010 Fourth International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF 2010)

Miama, Florida, U.S.A., one day between July 5-10, 2010 In conjunction with 
IEEE ICWS/SCC/CLOUD/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. 
The importance of scientific workflows has been recognized by NSF since 2006 
and was reemphasized recently in a 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pages) that show original unpublished research results in all areas of 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. 

Accepted SWF 2010 papers will be included in the proceedings of IEEE SERVICES 
2010, which will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

Topics

- Scientific workflow provenance management and analytics
- Scientific workflow data, metadata, service, and task management
- Scientific workflow architectures, models, and languages
- Scientific workflow monitoring, debugging, and failure handling o 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
