[Ilkay Altintas]

We are looking forward to exciting submissions from Kepler community to the 1st Kepler workshop.



Advances in the Kepler Scientific Workflow System and Its Applications (Weblink: http://tiny.cc/4zunh)

1st International Workshop in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science
June 4 - 6,  2012 
Omaha, Nebraska, USA


INTRODUCTION
 
Kepler (kepler-project.org) is an open-source, cross-project collaboration to develop a scientific workflow system for multiple disciplines, providing a workflow environment for scientists, in which they can design and execute workflows. The Kepler Scientific Workflow System supports the design, execution, and management of scientific and engineering workflows through dedicated capabilities including provenance management, run management and reporting tools, integration of distributed computation and data management technologies, ability to ingest local and remote scripts, and sensor management and data streaming interfaces.

The Kepler software is developed and maintained by the cross-project Kepler collaboration, which is led by a team consisting of several of the key institutions that originated the project. This workshop aims to bring researchers and developers contributing to Kepler together with informaticians and computational scientists using Kepler in order to communicate recent advances in Kepler and facilitate new development and collaborations.
 
TOPICS

 The topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:
·       State-of-the-Art Kepler Application Examples and Success Stories
·       Requirements from Existing and Potential Kepler Communities
·       Server-side Usage of Kepler in Virtual Laboratories and Other Cyberinfrastructure Environments including Portals
·       Best Practices for Using Kepler
·       Kepler in Educational Environments
·       New Developments and Modules in Kepler
 
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES                                                         

 Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original, unpublished research and recent developments and theoretical considerations on the workshop topics by February 12th, 2012. The manuscripts can be prepared as research papers (up to 10 pages), demonstration or poster papers (4-6 pages) or vision papers (2-4 pages).
 
The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of Procedia Computer Science. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. PostScript and source versions of your paper must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system.
 
While submitting please select the workshop (last field) as “Advances in Kepler Scientific Workflow System and Its Applications” and send a note to the workshop organizers.
