Abstract:

Scientific workflows are being used in number of scientific  
disciplines such as astronomy, bioinformatics, earth sciences,  
engineering, and others. Workflows provide a systematic way of  
describing the analysis and rely on workflow management systems to  
execute the complex analyses on a variety of distributed resources.  
This workshop focuses both on application experiences and the many  
facets of workflow management that operate at a number of levels  
ranging from job execution to service management and the coordination  
of data, service and job dependencies. The workshop covers a broad  
range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that include but  
are not limited to: designing workflow composition interfaces;  
mapping techniques that may optimize the execution of the workflow;  
enactment engines that need to deal with failures in the application  
and execution environment; and a number of computer science problems  
related to scientific workflows such as semantic technologies,  
compiler methods, fault detection and tolerance.
