WORKSHOP AIMS AND SCOPE
----------------
The SWEET 2013 workshop is a continuation of the first edition of the SWEET workshop held at SIGMOD in 2012. 
The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the potential of cloud-based computing in facilitating the convergence between workflows and large-scale data processing. 
Specific topics of interest include:

- performance: efficient data processing using cloud-based workflows,
- modelling: best practices in data-intensive workflow modelling and enactment,
- support technology: exploring the potential synergy between large-scale data processing and workflow technology.
