CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Web and Grid Services for Scientific Data Analysis (WAGSSDA)
http://pat.jpl.nasa.gov/public/WAGSSDA/

To be held in conjunction with
2005 International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP-2005)
Oslo, Norway
June 14-17, 2005


Two concurrent processes are leading to potential changes in the way
scientific data analysis is undertaken. First, many of the ideas from
the world of the Grid are being transformed into a layer on top of Web
Services.  Second, a large amount of scientific data is becoming
accessible through the Internet.  Today, many scientific researchers are
exploring these concepts to see if they can satisfy their data analysis
needs.

The concepts of the Grid have had tremendous promise, but thus far this
promise has not been fully realized.  On the other hand, simple
web-based technologies have transformed Web pages in powerful and
dynamic content, which are being further enhanced by emerging Web
Services.  Many feel that grid services may be the solution that will
allow the Grid to realize its potential, through use of Web Services.

Scientific data itself is increasingly distributed through the Internet,
through such mechanisms as FTP, HTTP, and SRB.  Frequently, users get
frustrated simply trying to find a subset of data they want, or
accessing it, let alone visualizing it, or obtaining knowledge from it.
Various communities and projects are now developing standards and
services to attempt to solve these problems.

The goal of this workshop is to cross-fertilize these areas, and to
discuss components and services used in processing and data, as well as
systems that combine both, all in the context of scientific data
analysis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


Topics of Interest

. Web services, including integrating emerging WS specifications such as
   WS-Notification, WS-Addressing.
. Grid services, including the use of WS-RF or other emerging frameworks.
. Security, including graduated authentication or the use of WS-Security.
. Workflow management
. Data analysis and management
. Knowledge extraction
. Semantic services, including ontologies, use of RDF and XML Schema.


Paper Submission Guidelines

. Not to exceed 20 double-spaced, 8.5 x 11-inch pages (including figures,
   tables and references) in 10-12 point font
. Number each page
. Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, and the corresponding author's
   e-mail address
. PDF format only
. E-Mail submissions only, to the co-chairs
