Note: This is an initial call for participation. Its primary purpose
is to allow the community to “save the dates”. A subsequent call will
provide further details.

Overview
-------------
The 3rd ProvenanceWeek will take place in London, UK, during the week
of July 9-13, 2018. Following successful ProvenanceWeek events in 2014
and 2016, this year's installment will again co-locate the IPAW and
TaPP workshops as well as several satellite events that focus on novel
directions for provenance. IPAW and TaPP build on a successful history
of provenance workshops that bring together researchers from a wide
range of computer science fields including workflows, semantic web,
databases, high performance computing, 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, 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
-------------------------------
- Ashish Gehani (SRI, USA) - ProvenanceWeek PC Chair
- Khalid Belhajjame (University Paris-Dauphine, France) - IPAW PC Chair
- Melanie Herschel (University of Stuttgart, Germany) - TaPP PC Chair
- Vasa Curcin / Simon Miles (King’s College London, UK) - Local Chairs
Submissions
-----------------
Authors can submit papers to either the IPAW or TaPP track of
ProvenanceWeek. Submission of the same or closely related work to both
tracks is expressly disallowed. ProvenanceWeek also accepts posters
and demonstration proposals that will be included in the IPAW
proceedings.
IPAW Track Research Papers
----------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original research work. The IPAW track
solicits full research papers (12 pages). The workshop has
traditionally been organized around the presentation of selected,
peer-reviewed high-quality papers.
Papers must be:
- not published or under review elsewhere
- no longer than 12 pages, including references and appendices
- formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
- submitted as PDF files to the IPAW track
TaPP Track Research Papers
---------------------------------------
TaPP 2018 continues the tradition of providing a genuine workshop
environment for discussing and developing new ideas and exploring
connections between disciplines and between academic research on
provenance and practical applications. We invite innovative and
creative contributions, including papers outlining new challenges for
provenance research, promising formal approaches to provenance,
innovative use of provenance, experience-based insights, resourceful
experiments, and visionary (and possibly risky) ideas. Proposals for
tutorials, panel or group discussions, reports on early stage
research, or any other activities that will create a successful
workshop are encouraged.
Papers must be:
- not published or under review elsewhere
- no longer than 4 pages; an extra 4 pages of supporting material may
be submitted, but the reviewers will not be obliged to read them
- formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN two-column format
(http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/)
- submitted as PDF files to the TaPP track
As in previous years, contributions to TaPP will be published online
as open access; authors retain copyright to their submissions and
full-length papers based on TaPP contributions may be submitted to
other venues subsequently.
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 descriptions must be:
- no longer than 4 pages
- formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
- submitted as PDF files to the Poster track
- accompanied by a preliminary version of the poster as a supplementary file
Demonstrations
---------------------
Demonstration proposals should be no more 4 pages long, formatted
using the Springer 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.
Demonstration proposals must be:
- not published or under review elsewhere
- no longer than 4 pages
- formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
- submitted as PDF files to the Demonstration track
Optionally, a video showcasing the demonstrated system may be uploaded.
Co-located Events
------------------------
We are looking for a small number of original and high-quality events,
which focus on novel and visionary directions for provenance. Such
events should seek to welcome work in progress that is not prime for
proper refereed publications.
Events that help broaden the community and increase its impact are
particularly welcome. Examples of co-located events include tutorials,
challenges, and discussions on specific topics. Co-located events
should not issue formal calls for papers and should not have formal
proceedings (since papers should be sent to IPAW or TaPP). Co-located
events can be half a day or a full day.
If you are interested in organizing a co-located event, please send an
email to the ProvenanceWeek PC Chair with:
- event title
- event aims
- organizers
- proposed format
- duration
- how it helps broaden community and increase impact
