17th Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science
November 14, 2022
Dallas, TX, USA
In conjunction with
Proceedings by
WORKS 2022 focuses on the many facets of scientific workflow management systems, ranging from actual execution to service management and the coordination and optimization of data, service, and job dependencies. The workshop covers a broad range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that include: scientific workflows representation and enactment; workflow scheduling techniques to optimize the execution on heterogeneous infrastructures; workflow enactment engines that deal with failures in the application and infrastructure; and a number of computer science problems related to scientific workflows such as semantic technologies, compiler methods, fault tolerance, etc.
All deadlines are Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
Scientific workflows have been almost universally used across scientific domains and have underpinned some of the most significant discoveries of the past several decades. Workflow management systems (WMSs) provide abstraction and automation which enable a broad range of researchers to easily define sophisticated computational processes and to then execute them efficiently on parallel and distributed computing systems. As workflows have been adopted by a number of scientific communities, they are becoming more complex and require more sophisticated workflow management capabilities. A workflow now can analyze terabyte-scale data sets, be composed of one million individual tasks, require coordination between heterogeneous tasks, manage tasks that execute for milliseconds to hours, and can process data streams, files, and data placed in object stores. The computations can be single core workloads, loosely coupled computations, or tightly all within a single workflow, and can run in dispersed computing platforms.
This workshop focuses on the many facets of scientific workflow management systems, ranging from actual execution to service management and the coordination and optimization of data, service, and job dependencies. The workshop covers a broad range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that include: scientific workflows representation and enactment; workflow scheduling techniques to optimize the execution of the workflow on heterogeneous infrastructures; 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, scheduling and fault detection and tolerance.
WORKS22 will be held in conjunction with the SuperComputing (SC22), Dallas, Texas, USA, at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas.
WORKS22 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but not limited to:
There will be two forms of presentations:
Submission of a full paper may result in a talk, submission of an abstract may result in a lightning talk. Presenters of full papers will be given a 13-minute time slot (plus 2 minutes for questions) to provide a summary and update to their research work. Presenters of abstracts will be given a 5-minute time slot (plus 2 minutes for questions) to present a novel tool or a scientific workflow.
Accepted papers from the workshop will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and made available online through the IEEE Digital Library.
The format of the paper should be of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch
pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines. Templates are available from
