The First IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Data-centric Workflows on Heterogeneous Infrastructures: Challenges and Directions (DAWHI)

The First IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Data-centric Workflows on Heterogeneous Infrastructures: Challenges and Directions (DAWHI)

Click here for Preliminary Program

Nowadays, data-centric approaches are playing an increasingly important role in scientific applications and industrial innovations, e.g., for studying global environmental challenges or for providing smart services in the city and society. Such applications are often complex workflows among many different services, and across different infrastructures. Compared to the early workflow applications, those applications face new challenges in the scalability, performance, trustworthiness and energy efficiency, when the infrastructure is heterogeneous, and provided by different parties.

The workshop aims to establish a platform for researchers from service computing, scientific workflow management, cloud computing, big data, and relevant communities to exchange the latest experience and research ideas on data-centric applications across heterogeneous infrastructures. The workshop focuses on practical aspects of data-centric applications, e.g., programming model, software engineering, performance optimization, and FAIRness.

Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate current research in all areas of scientific workflow management in e-Science. The workshop solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics including, but not limited to:

  • Workflow management across heterogeneous infrastructures
  • New workflow composition model
  • DevOps in workflow
  • Data management in large scale workflows
  • Scheduling and processing modeling in large scale workflows
  • Blockchain in workflow
  • Decentralized APP in workflow
  • Smart contract in workflow

Submission

We call for original and unpublished Regular Papers no longer than 6 pages (up to 2 additional pages may be purchased subject to approval by the Publication Chair.) We also allow submissions of unpublished Short Papers (exactly 4 pages) and Concise Papers (exactly 2 pages). All regular and short papers will be reviewed with a minimum of 3 good-quality reviews per paper. Concise papers will be expeditiously reviewed by the workshop organizers for final decisions. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper).
