4th
International Workshop on Workflow Management (ICWM2009)
4-8 May
2009, Geneva, Switzerland
http://www.swinflow.org/confs/ICWM2009/ICWM2009.htm
in conjunction with
the
The 4th International Conference on Grid
and Pervasive Computing (GPC 2009)
Supported by IEEE TCSC
Technical Area on Workflow
Management in Scalable Computing Environments
Workflow
management enables the modelling, execution and re-engineering of real-world
work processes. Originally, workflow was defined by WfMC
as the automation of business process in whole or part. With e-science coming
into the picture, scientific workflow takes another shape in workflow domain in
support of large-scale sophisticated problem solving processes in scientific
applications such as climate modelling, structural biology and chemistry. In
addition, emerging computing infrastructures such as pervasive computing,
service computing and cloud computing bring new challenges and mapping
requirements for workflow management. As a result, the research and development
of workflow management continuously remain at a high degree of interest internationally.
The ICWM was
previously held mainly as the International
Workshop on Workflow Management and Applications in Grid Environments
respectively in the 1st WaGe in 2006, 2nd WaGe in 2007
and 3rd WaGe
in 2008. With the three successful editions, the ICWM this year evolves to
cover various aspects in workflow management. The conference aims to provide a
forum for researchers, practitioners and developers from different background
areas such as business domain, e-science domain, computing infrastructure
domain as well as workflow and process research domain to exchange the latest
experience and research ideas, particularly the latest joint-venture and
synergic research and development on workflow management. The conference
solicits high quality research results in all aspects of workflow management.
Topics
The objective of
the conference is to invite authors to submit original manuscripts that
demonstrate and explore current advances in all aspects of workflow management
from various perspectives. The conference is open to all members of business
community, e-science community, computing infrastructure community,
workflow/process related areas as well as any other related areas. The workshop
solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:

Submission Requirements
Please email your
manuscripts in PDF to jinjun.chen@gmail.com with
the email subject as “ICWM2009 paper submission”. Papers should be limited up
to 8 pages in IEEE format.
All papers will be peer reviewed by two or three pc members. Submitting a paper
to the workshop means that if the paper is accepted, at least one author should
register to GPC2009 and attend the conference to present the paper.
Publication of Papers
All accepted
papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society.
Selected papers will be invited to special issues in Concurrency and
Computation: Practice and Experience, and Journal of Computer and System
Sciences. Other selected papers will be invited to a book to be published by
Nova Science Publishers in its book series on Process and Workflow Management
and Applications.
