Call For Papers:

Scientific workflows have underpinned some of the most significant discoveries of the past several decades. Workflow management systems (WMSs) provide abstraction and automation that enable 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 multiple scientific communities, they are becoming more complex and require more sophisticated workflow management capabilities. A workflow can now analyze terabyte-scale data sets, execute millions of individual tasks; coordinate heterogeneous resources and tasks from edge to core; and process near real-time data streams, files, and data placed in different types of storage systems. The computations can be single core workloads, loosely-coupled tasks, or tightly-coupled computations, and can run in heterogeneous distributed computing platforms all within a single workflow.

The Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science (WORKS) focuses on the many facets of scientific workflow composition, management, sustainability, and application to domain sciences in an increasingly diverse landscape. WORKS aims to serve as the central meeting point for all the stakeholders involved in the evolving workflows community, and to showcase the latest developments and emerging approaches in the field.

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):

  *
Reproducible research using workflows
  *
Workflow user environments, portals and registries
  *
Data-driven workflow processing (including stream processing workflows)
  *
Interactive, adaptive, and dynamic workflows (including workflow steering)
  *
Workflow execution in distributed and heterogeneous environments (HPC, clouds, edge, and grids)
  *
Serverless workflows and serverless orchestration
  *
Exascale computing with workflows
  *
Big Data analytics workflows, AI workflows
  *
Workflows integrating emerging computing, storage and networking technologies (e.g., quantum, DNA)
  *
Workflow modeling
  *
Workflow composition languages, tools and orchestrators
  *
Workflow scheduling and resource management (including energy efficiency and cost)
  *
Application of AI/ML technologies to workflow management
  *
Performance analysis of workflows
  *
Workflow provenance
  *
Workflow fault-tolerance and recovery techniques
  *
Workflow debugging
  *
Interdisciplinary workflow applications
  *
Workflow applications and their requirements

There will be two forms of presentations:

  *
Paper presentations - Resulting from the submission of Full Papers (up to 8 pages) describing a novel research contribution in the topics listed above.
  *
Panel discussions - Resulting from the submission of Abstracts (up to 2 pages) describing forward-looking ideas and supporting initial works pertaining to the future of scientific workflows and associated ecosystems, which will be discussed in a panel format.

Important Dates - All deadlines are Anywhere on Earth (AoE):

  *
Paper and Abstract Submission: August 4, 2024
  *
Paper and Abstract Acceptance Notification: September 4, 2024
  *
Camera-ready Submission: September 25, 2024
  *
Workshop: November 18, 2024

Submissions:

  *
Full papers: Submissions are limited to 8 pages. The 8-page limit includes figures, tables, references, and appendices.
  *
Abstracts: Submissions are limited to 2 pages (including figures, tables and references).

The format of the paper submissions for Full Papers and Abstracts should be two-column text using single spaced 10 point font size on U.S. Letter ¨C 8.5¡å x 11¡å pages, as per IEEE conference proceedings guidelines. All submissions must use the IEEE conference proceedings templates available from this link: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html<https://urldefense.us/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ieee.org_conferences_publishing_templates.html&d=DwMGaQ&c=qzHnJIRvjI6L-clJH8JwLQvf_Iq43fzikf6aoxZgMb8&r=VPm5hvx2s_GPzJnFhlEdQbKo706H2zvWU0LSvp3DuAM&m=aYE1L3x2oIFHQdEVF-Dkn43X9la6ETgHZMNze765fuLXtYdqgQPb8aiva9Yuq2FU&s=qqtgf9rvRxbPSpO1UtY4_T6E9e2LYZPWljquY9MNHhQ&e=>

Both Abstracts and Full Papers must be submitted through the official SC24 submission site: http://submissions.supercomputing.org/<https://urldefense.us/v2/url?u=http-3A__submissions.supercomputing.org_&d=DwMGaQ&c=qzHnJIRvjI6L-clJH8JwLQvf_Iq43fzikf6aoxZgMb8&r=VPm5hvx2s_GPzJnFhlEdQbKo706H2zvWU0LSvp3DuAM&m=aYE1L3x2oIFHQdEVF-Dkn43X9la6ETgHZMNze765fuLXtYdqgQPb8aiva9Yuq2FU&s=vpHzHelvLpQM6hpoSf4-P1M7GKOACji96mdnGy64WpU&e=>

Review Process:

Full Papers will undergo a thorough, single blind review process. Each full paper will receive at least three reviews from experts in our Workshop Program Committee. Each full paper will be presented at the workshop, and be included in the SC Workshop Proceedings. Our committee will value efforts towards improving the reproducibility and transparency of the presented research. We encourage full paper submissions to include information about relevant software and data artifacts within the paper. Authors are also encouraged to make available online any products of their paper (e.g., simulators, graphs, experimental results, logs, etc.). However, dedicated Artifact Description (AD)/Artifact Evaluation (AE) appendices are not expected as part of the submission.

Abstracts will undergo a thorough, single blind review process and each will receive at least three reviews from experts in our Workshop Program Committee. Based on the content of the accepted abstracts, the Workshop Chairs will organize a Panel discussion during the workshop centered around the topic of ¡°Future of Scientific Workflows¡±. One author from each accepted Abstract will participate in the panel discussion. Accepted Abstracts will not be included in the SC Workshop Proceedings. Unlike the previous two editions of WORKS, Abstracts will not be compiled into a full paper.

Proceedings Publication:
Accepted full papers from the workshop will be published in the SC Workshops Proceedings volume, and made available online through the IEEE Digital Library.
