> -----------------------------------------------------------
>     2nd International Workshop on
>    Workflow systems in e-Science
>             (WSES 07)
>       in conjunction with
> International Conference on Computational Science 2007
> (http://www.iccs-meeting.org/)
> May 27-30, 2007, Beijing, China
> -----------------------------------------------------------

> 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 as 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.
>
> The WSES 06 was successfully held in the context of International
> Conference of
> Computational Science 2006 in Reading University in May 29 2006.  
> The workshop
> attracted 29 submissions. Each paper was reviewed by at least three
> referees, and 17
> papers, including 9 regular ones and 8 short ones, were accepted. The
> presentations
> were organized as three sessions: scientific workflows  
> applications, system
> architecture and middleware, and development issues. One discussion
> session was
> organized at the end of the workshop. Selected papers are to be  
> appeared
> in a special
> issue of Scientific Programming Journal.
>
> 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 to the  
> workshop
> via the
> ICCS 2007 paper submission system. 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.
