KSWSA 2012 - Third Workshop on Advances in Kepler Scientific Workflow System and Its Applications

Kepler (kepler-project.org) is an open-source, cross-project collaboration to develop a scientific workflow system for multiple disciplines, providing a workflow environment for scientists, in which they can design and execute workflows. Kepler Scientific Workflow System supports the design, execution, and management of scientific and engineering workflows through dedicated capabilities including provenance management, run management and reporting tools, integration of distributed computation and data management technologies, ability to ingest local and remote scripts, and sensor management and data streaming interfaces.
The Kepler software is developed and maintained by the cross-project Kepler collaboration, which is led by a team consisting of several of the key institutions that originated the project. This workshop aims to bring researchers and developers contributing to Kepler together with informaticians and computational scientists using Kepler in order to communicate newest advances in Kepler and facilitate new development and collaborations.
The topics of interest for submission include, but not limited to:
* State-of-the-Art Kepler Application Examples and Success Stories
* Requirements from Existing and Potential Kepler Communities
* Server-side Usage of Kepler in Virtual Laboratories and Other Cyberinfrastructure Environments including Portals
* Best Practices for Using Kepler
* Kepler in Educational Environments
* New Developments and Modules in Kepler
