special issue of A&C on VO

[Jose Enrique Ruiz]

Hello Bob
we could contribute with a paper on AstroTaverna tool for management of
VO-services based workflows, we think it could fit well in the section of
VO-enabled applications. The paper is in the nearly ready-for-publish
state, and we were already considering sending it to A&C before your email
arrived.

>
>   Dear IVOA colleagues,
>
>    Following the recent IVOA and ADASS conferences in Hawaii I was
> approached by *Astronomy and Computing* about the idea of having an issue
> (or issues) dedicated to VO tools and technologies.  I put together a
> tentative list of articles and potential authors (neither is intended to be
> complete, but rather suggestive).
>
>    *A&C* is indeed interested…the question is *are we interested* as
> members of the VO community in writing these papers?
>
>    Given the number of potential topics and various schedule constraints
> people might have, we would not try to assemble everything into one issue.
>  Instead we would group articles either as they come in, or, if we could
> arrange it, on a topical basis (infrastructure vs. applications, say).
>
>    I think there is significant value in our documenting the VO in formal
> way, in the peer-reviewed literature, and *A&C* seems an appropriate
> venue.
>
>    Before we commit to this I'd be interested to hear from those of you
> interested in contributing a paper.  Again, topics and authors are not
> limited to those listed below!  And if you are interested, particularly in
> leading a paper, please let me know on what sort of time scale you think
> you could produce a manuscript.

>  Overview/Introduction
> o  Editorial:  myself, Francoise Genova, David Schade, etc.; basically the
> chair and past-chairs of the IVOA Executive.
> o  IVOA organization and process (Christophe Arviset, Severin Gaudet)
>
>  Profiles of various VO projects
> o  VAO; myself as lead author with senior members of the VAO project team
> o  any others who choose to contribute
>
>  Key VO concepts and technologies
> o  Resource discovery (Ray Plante, Gretchen Greene, Pierre le Sidaner)
> o  Data discovery and access (Pat Dowler, Francois Bonnarel, Doug Tody)
> o  Data models (Jesus Salgado, Omar Laurino, Mireille Louys)
> o  Semantics (Norman Gray, Sebastien Derriere, Mireille Louys)
> o  Theory and simulation (Franck le Petit, Rick Wagner, Gerard Lemson,
> Herve Wozniak)
> o  Transient events and time series (Matthew Graham, Mike Fitzpatrick,
> John Swinbank, Roy Williams)
> o  Distributed computational services (Andre Schaaff, Andreas Wicenec,
> Matthew Graham, Ray Plante)
> o  Sky coverage specifications (Arnold Rots, Pierre Fernique, Gretchen
> Greene, Tamas Budavari)
> o  VOTable (Francois Ochsenbein, Mark Taylor)
>
>  VO-enabled applications
> o  TOPCAT (Mark Taylor)
> o  SAMP (Mark Taylor. Tomas Boch)
> o  Iris (Janet Evans, Stephen Doe, Ivo Busko. Omar Laurino)
> o  VOSpec (Pedro Osuna, Jesus Salgado)
> o  VOSA (Enrique Solano et al.)
> o  Data Discovery Tool (Tom Donaldson, Tom McGlynn)
> o  WWT (Jonathan Fay)
> o  Others…
>
>  In all cases I would be looking for articles that are more than just
> "this is what we did."  Of more interest is the "how" and "why".  How does
> the VO work?  Why were the choices made the way they were?
>
>  If everyone above agreed to participate it would be a massive issue!
>  But extremely useful, I think!
>
>  The author lists are suggestive, not exhaustive.
>
>  See what the editors think, José.
