Post-workshop publication: Selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the International. Journal of Data Analysis Techniques and Strategies (listed in Cabell's Directory of Refereed Publications and indexed by Science Direct).
Provenance and related issues have gathered interest in the e-Research community. These include mechanisms to validate data that is generated through in silico experiments, to provide the context of the data and to help interpretation of experiments to name a few.
Provenance is not a new concept and has been used in historical studies for centuries. However, the new context of e-Research where the provenance concept needs to be applied, poses new challenges, which need to be solved as a multi-disciplinary effort.
In this workshop, we invite authors to submit their work on provenance in e-Research. As it is a relatively new area, the workshop aims to provide a place to discuss challenges, issues and success stories that authors may have so far experienced.
The workshop encourages submissions from the end users of provenance systems such as those used in computational chemistry, physics, biology, history, etc. The submission should discuss the provenance requirements of their domain and experiences in using existing provenance system.
It is envisaged that the workshop will be a meeting place of the providers (computer scientists) and the users of the provenance system where lively discussion can take place.
Selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the International. Journal of Data Analysis Techniques and Strategies. The journal is listed in Cabell's Directory of Refereed Publications and indexed by Science Direct.
Topics of interest to the workshop include:
Provenance requirements from different domains (chemistry, physics, arts, scientific publication, etc).
Data provenance
Process/Workflow provenance
Storing, querying and visualisation of provenance data
System prototypes
Contemporary issues and challenges in provenance practice and research
Submit a full paper in English of at most 6 pages according to the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts Style: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10-point fonts. The details of the style are at http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/.
Paper submission must include contact addresses of all authors, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. All papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
Paper submission should be done here.
