Call for Papers for the 2nd International Workshop on Scientific Workflows and Business Workflow Standards in e-Science

in conjunction with 3rd International Conference on e-science and Grid computing (e-science2007), Dec 10-13, 2007, Bangalore, India.

Aims and scope

In e-Science environments, Scientific Workflow Management Systems (SWMS) hide the integration details at different layers of middleware such as for managing Grid resources, computing tasks, data and information, and automate the management of experiment routines. Recently development in Grid technology have shown a convergence between business workflow standards such as BPEL4WS and scientific workflows and 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.

Concerted research is carried out in several projects along the complete e-Science technology chain, ranging from applications to networking, focusing on new methodologies and re-usable components. The workshop focuses on practical aspects of utilising workflow techniques to fill the gap between the e-Science applications on one hand and the middleware (Grid) and the low level infrastructure on the other hand. 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 1st International Workshop on Scientific Workflows and Business workflow standards in e-Science was successfully held in the context of IEEE Int'l Conf e- Science and Grid computing in Amsterdam in Dec. 2006.

The workshop invited 6 well known researchers representing both academia and industry. The workshop consists of two oral sessions and one panel session. This year we will widen the participation to SWBES workshop by inviting submission of original work.
