Call for Participation

In recent years workflows have emerged as a key technology that enables
large-scale computations on distributed resources. Workflows enable
scientists to design complex applications that are composed of
individual application components or services. Often times these
components and services are designed, developed, and tested
collaboratively. Because of the size of the data and the complexity of
the analysis, large amounts of shared resources such as clusters and
storage systems are being used to store the data sets and execute the
workflows. The process of workflow design and execution in a distributed
environment can be very complex and involve mapping high-level workflow
descriptions onto the available resources, as well as monitoring and
debugging of the subsequent execution.  Because computations and data
access operations are performed on shared resources, there is an
increased interest in managing the fair allocation and management of
those resources at the workflow level.

 Adequate workflow descriptions are needed to support the complex
workflow management process which includes workflow creation, workflow
reuse, and modifications made to the workflow over time-for example
modifications to the individual workflow components. Additional workflow
annotations may provide guidelines and requirements for resource mapping
and execution.

             Large-scale scientific applications pose several
requirements on the workflow systems. Besides the magnitude of data
processed by the workflow components, the resulting and intermediate
data need to be annotated with provenance information and any other
information needed to evaluate the quality of the data and support the
repeatability of the analysis.

            The Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science
focuses on the entire workflow lifecycle including the workflow
composition, mapping, and robust execution. 

              The workshop program will consist of paper presentations
and a panel on the Relationship of Workflow and Distributed Programming
and Scripting. For the full workshop program, please visit:

               To participate in the workshop please register at

Please make sure to check the "Workflow" workshop on the registration
form. (The deadline for advance registration is May 19th). 

 

                I look forward to seeing you in Paris.
