Aims and scope


 

Grid environments enable collaborations involving large numbers of
people and large scale resources, and promote the emergence of a new
paradigm for scientific research: e-Science. Different layers of
middleware, e.g., for managing Grid resources, computing tasks, data,
and information, form the basic framework for realising an e-Science
environment. By automating the management of experiment routines, a
scientific workflow management system hides the underlying integration
details of the e-Science resources and allows a scientist to focus on
the high level domain specific aspects of the experiments. The support
for scientific workflows is being recognised a crucial feature for
introducing an e-Science environment to application scientists from
different domains. 

The WSES workshop focuses on practical aspects of scientific workflow
management systems: design, implementation, applications in all fields
of computational science, interoperability among workflows and the
e-Science infrastructure, e.g., knowledge framework, for workflow
management.  The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and
developers in the field of e-Science to exchange the latest experience
and research ideas on scientific workflow management and e-Science. 

Live demos of workflow systems and workflow application are welcome.


Topics


 

Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate
current research in all areas of scientific workflow management in
e-Science. The workshop solicits novel papers on a broad range of
topics, including but 
not limited to: 

*	Workflow infrastructure and e-Science middleware 
*	Workflow API and graphical user interface 
*	Workflow modelling techniques 
*	Workflow specification language 
*	Workflow execution engine 
*	Dynamic workflow control 
*	Workflow verification and validation 
*	Workflow system performance analysis 
*	Support tools for managing workflows 
*	AI techniques in workflow management, e.g., planning, runtime
control and user support; 
*	Security control in managing workflow 
*	Real-world applications of scientific workflow 
*	Different levels of interoperability among workflow systems; 
*	Automatic composition of scientific workflow; 
*	Knowledge infrastructure in workflow management; 


Paper submission and publication


Authors should submit electronically a full (8-page) paper in PDF format
to (zhiming at science.uva.nl). The papers will be carefully evaluated
based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
expression. Accepted papers should be presented at the workshop. All
accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer-Verlag.
Selected best papers, after extension, will be published in a suitable
international journal as a special issue.
