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.” <o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>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 Authors are invited to submit regular papers (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages) that show original unpublished research results in all areas of scientific workflows.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.<o:p></o:p></pre><pre> <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>List of topics<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scientific workflow provenance management and analytics<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scientific workflow data, metadata, service, and task management<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scientific workflow architectures, models, languages, systems, and algorithms<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scientific workflow monitoring, debugging, and failure handling<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Streaming data processing in scientific workflows<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Pipelined, data, workflow, and task parallelism in scientific workflows<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Cloud, Service, Grid, or hybrid scientific workflows<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Data, metadata, compute, user-interaction, or visualization-intensive scientific workflows<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scientific workflow composition<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Security issues in scientific workflows<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Data integration and service integration in scientific workflows<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scientific workflow mapping, optimization, and scheduling<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scientific workflow modeling, simulation, analysis, and verification<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scalability, reliability, extensibility, agility, and interoperability <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Scientific workflow applications<o:p></o:p></pre><pre> <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Important dates<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Paper Submission Extended to March 24, 2010<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Decision Notification (Electronic) April 17, 2010<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>· Camera-Ready Submission & Pre-registration April 30, 2010<o:p></o:p></pre><pre> <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Paper submission<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>All papers should be submitted via the SWF workshop submission system at <a href="http://www.confhub.com/conf.php?id=175">http://www.confhub.com/conf.php?id=175</a>.
