Provenance analytics (co-located with the Provenance Week (IPAW + TAPP))<br>

Cologne, 9th of June, 2014<br>
========================<br>
<br>
Provenance<<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-dm/#dfn-provenance" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-dm/#dfn-provenance</a>>
is a record that describes people, institutions, entities, and
activities involved in producing, influencing, or delivering a digital
artifact. There have been several efforts dedicated to the design of
data models for provenance, the integration with legacy systems, the
generation and reconstruction of provenance. However, relatively little
attention has been given to the principled use of provenance for
analyzing the behavior of systems, building models to predict their
behavior, and recognizing anomalous situations.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
In this workshop, we will bring researchers and practitioners together
to discuss principles and approaches to provenance analysis and
analytics. We will also create a survey on the usage of provenance.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest<br>
<br>
</div> * Algorithms for provenance analysis and transformation<br>
* Machine learning techniques applied to provenance<br>
* Reasoning systems for provenance<br>
* Implementation, scalability, and performance of provenance analysis<br>
* Predictive models based on provenance<br>
* Applications of provenance analysis/analytics<br>
* Provenance based quality analysis, trust rating, reputation<br>
* Online and offline use of provenance<br>
* Provenance for auditing and accountability<br>
* Privacy issues pertaining to provenance<br>
* Reasoning with incomplete or uncertain provenance<br>
* Usability of provenance<br>
* Industrial experience with provenance<br><br>
<div class="im"><b>Submission details and important dates</b><br>
This workshop will be highly interactive and discussion-based. Authors
are invited to submit short papers (<b>1-4 pages in LNCS format</b> (<a href="http://www.springer.com/lncs" target="_blank">http://www.springer.com/lncs</a>)) describing frameworks for provenance that are under development (or being deployed for real use),<br>
applications of provenance that illustrate the use of provenance in
practical settings, description of a vision or new requirements for
provenance based on practical use.<br>
<br>
Submission Deadline: <b>May 4th 2014</b>.<br>
<br>
