Call for Papers
IEEE 2009 Third International Workshop on Scientific Workflows (SWF  
2009)
http://www.servicescongress.org/2009/1/swf-2009.html
Los Angeles, USA, July 7, 2009
In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Web Services  
(ICWS 2009)

Description
Today, many scientific discoveries are achieved through complex and  
distributed scientific
computations that are represented and structured as scientific  
workflows. User friendly
scientific workflow systems are increasingly being developed to enable  
e-scientists to
integrate, structure, and orchestrate various local or remote data and  
service resources
to perform various in silico experiments to produce interesting  
scientific discovery.
The critical role of scientific workflows in cyberinfrastructure has  
been recognized
by a recent NSF workshop on the challenges of scientific workflows in  
May 2006,
which concluded that “workflows should become first-class entities in  
cyberinfrastructure
architecture. For domain scientists, they are important because  
workflows document and
manage the increasingly complex processes involved in exploration and  
discovery through
computations. For computer scientists, workflows provide a formal and  
declarative
representation of complex distributed computations that must be  
managed efficiently
through their lifecycle from assembly, to execution, to sharing.”

Authors are invited to submit regular papers (8 pages), short papers  
(4 pages), and
demo papers (2 pages) that show original unpublished research results  
in all areas
of scientific workflows. Topics of interest are listed below; however,  
submissions
on all aspects of scientific workflows are welcome. For demo papers,  
at least one
author is expected to present a demo in the workshop during the demo  
session,
special arrangement will be made to meet the need of the authors.
Accepted SWF 2009 papers will be included in the proceedings of  
SERVICES 2009 (Part I),
which will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
