Announcement about Workflow future plans

[Bruce Berriman]

Andre:

Ewa Deelman (ISI, USC) and myself have, with our collaborators,  
investigated workflows and management of their provenance for a number  
of years, and would like to contribute. Please let us know what you  
need and when.

Cheers

Oggetto: Announcement about Workflow future plans


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.

Best regards,


André Schaaff and Jose Enrique Ruiz
