DescriptionData Intensive Workflows (a.k.a. scientific workflows)
are routinely used in most scientific disciplines today,
especially in the context of parallel and distributed
computing. Workflows provide a systematic way of
describing the analysis and rely on workflow management
systems to execute the complex analyses on a variety of
distributed resources. This workshop focuses on the many
facets of data-intensive workflow management systems,
ranging from job execution to service management and the
coordination of data, service and job dependencies. The
workshop therefore covers a broad range of issues in the
scientific workflow lifecycle that include: data
intensive workflows representation and enactment;
designing workflow composition interfaces; workflow
mapping techniques that may optimize the execution of
the workflow; workflow enactment engines that need to
deal with failures in the application and execution
environment; and a number of computer science problems
related to scientific workflows such as semantic
technologies, compiler methods, fault detection and
tolerance.
