CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AND EXTENDED DEADLINE FOR DEMOS/POSTERS
==============================================================

The registration for ProvenanceWeek is open now and closes May 20th.

Also the submission deadlines for the poster and demonstration tracks are
extended until April 15th.


OVERVIEW
========

The second ProvenanceWeek will take place in Washington DC, USA, during the
week
of June 6-9, 2016. Following the successful inception of ProvenanceWeek in
2014,
this year's installment will again co-locate the IPAW and TaPP workshops as
well
as several satellite events focusing on novel directions of provenance.
IPAW and
TaPP build both on a successful history of provenance workshops that bring
together researchers from a wide range of computer science fields including
workflows, semantic web, databases, HPC and distributed systems, operating
systems, programming languages, and software engineering as well as
researchers
from other fields such as biology and physics that have urgent provenance
needs.

Provenance is increasingly important in data science, Big Data, cloud
computing,
workflow systems, and many other areas. By providing a record of the data
creation process and of dependencies between data, provenance information is
essential for tracing errors in transformed data back to erroneous inputs,
access control, auditing, repeatability and reproducibility, evaluating data
quality, and establishing ownership of data.

TOPICS
======

The goal of ProvenanceWeek is to bring together researchers and
practitioners
who are studying, applying, and advancing provenance in scientific and
scholarly
uses.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Provenance management system prototypes and commercial solutions
- Provenance analytics, querying, and reasoning about provenance
- Visualizing provenance information
- Performance aspects of provenance capture, storage, and analytics
- Standardization of provenance models and representations
- Security and privacy implications of provenance
- Applications of provenance in real life settings
- Human interaction with provenance
- Retroactive reconstruction of provenance
- Using provenance for evaluating data quality and trust in data
- Novel methods for capturing provenance
- Integrating provenance information
- Interoperability among provenance-aware systems
- Provenance discovery

CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS
=====================

- Marta Mattoso (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) -
ProvenanceWeek PC Chair
- Boris Glavic (Illinois Institute of Technology, USA) - IPAW PC Chair
- Sarah Cohen-Boulakia (Universite Paris-Sud, France) - TaPP PC Chair

SUBMISSIONS
===========

Posters
-------

ProvenanceWeek encourages the presentation of early work as posters.
Proposals
for posters should be limited to a 4 page description of the poster content
formatted using the LNCS guidelines. Accepted posters will be presented
during a
separate session at the workshop. Poster description should be:

- no longer than 4 pages
- formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines and technical
instructions
- submitted as PDF files to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pw2016
to the poster track
- authors must also submit a preliminary version of the poster as a
supplementary file

Poster descriptions will be included in the Springer proceedings.

Demonstrations
--------------

Demonstration descriptions should be no more 4 pages long formatted using
the
LNCS guidelines.  The proposal must describe the demonstrated system,
clearly
indicate what is going to be demonstrated, and state the significance of the
research contribution, technologies, and/or applications. To summarize, demo
papers must be:

- not published or under review elsewhere
- no longer than 4 pages
- formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines and technical
instructions
- submitted as PDF files to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pw2016
to the demo track
- optionally authors may also upload a video showcasing the demonstrated
system

Demonstration descriptions will be included in the Springer proceedings.

Co-located Events
------------------

In addition to the TaPP and IPAW workshops, two additional satellite events
are co-located with ProvenanceWeek:

- PROV: Three Years Later (http://provenanceweek.org/2016/p3yl/)
- Provenance-based Security and Transparent Computing (
https://sites.google.com/site/pbstc2016/)
