========================================================================== Final Call for Papers 5th Intl. Provenance and Annotation Workshop (IPAW'2014) June 10-11, 2014 --- Part of PROVENANCE WEEK http://provenanceweek.dlr.de --- June 9-13, 2014 DLR, Cologne, Germany ========================================================================== OVERVIEW ======== Provenance is growing increasingly important in an accelerated environment of Big Data and international data sharing. As a record that describes entities and processes involved in producing and delivering or otherwise influencing that resource, provenance provides a critical foundation for assessing the authenticity of computationally derived results, enabling trust, and facilitating reuse and reproducibility. We are pleased that IPAW’14 will participate as part of a “PROVENANCE WEEK”, a full week of co-located activities around provenance (details forthcoming). IPAW’14 builds on a successful line of provenance and annotation workshops: http://www.ipaw.info/ TOPICS ====== The goal of IPAW is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are studying, applying, and advancing provenance in scientific and scholarly uses. Topics of interest for IPAW 2014 include the following: - Provenance analytics and visualization - Role of provenance in Big Data - Provenance quality - Attribution and trust in sharing of research data across national boundaries - Provenance and the semantic web - Human interaction with provenance - Security and privacy implications of provenance - Legal applications of provenance - Integration of provenance into existing information management architectures - Provenance management architectures and techniques - Provenance and social media - Provenance in extreme computing - Provenance in digital data lifecycle - Reasoning about provenance - Provenance discovery - Standardization of provenance models, services, and representations - Provenance management system prototypes and commercial solutions - Applications of provenance in real life settings IMPORTANT DATES =============== - Abstracts Due: March 7, 2014 - Papers Due: March 14, 2014 - Notification: April 11, 2014 - IPAW'14 Conference: June 10-11, 2014 - Provenance Week: June 9-13, 2014 Conference Organizers ===================== - Bertram Ludaescher (University of California, Davis, USA) - PC Co-Chair - Beth Plale (Indiana University, Bloomington, USA) - PC Co-Chair - Andreas Schreiber (German Aerospace Center, Cologne, Germany) - Local Chair Program Committee ================= - Adriane Chapman - MITRE Corporation, US - Carl Lagoze - University of Michigan, US - Curt Tilmes - NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, US - Daniel Garijo - Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain - Deborah L.
