> Dear all,
>
> As you know we will soon be facing a new generation of facilities and
> archives dealing with huge amounts of data (ALMA, LSST, panSTARRS,
> LOFAR, SKA pathfinders,..) where scientific Workflows will play an
> important role in the working methodology of astronomers.  A detailed
> analysis about the state of the art of workflows in the frame of the VO
> involves languages, design tools, execution engines, use cases, etc. A
> major topic is also the preservation of the workflows and the capability
> to replay a workflow several years after its design and implementation.
> Several talks concerning these issues have been presented during the
> past IVOA Interop meetings (see references below).
>
> In order to undertake this task within our community we think that as a
> first step a Note should be written. Participation is welcome, in
> particular, we would like to collect experiences (including use cases,
> tools, etc.), references, remarks, etc. We plan the Note to be published
> around September and discussed at the Pune Interop meeting. We should
> then decide on starting a working draft describing those aspects and
> possibly in a new Interest Group on Workflows.
