Provenance Analytics (@ProvenanceWeek) - Call for Contributions

========================
Provenance analytics (co-located with the Provenance Week (IPAW + TAPP))
http://provenanceweek.org/2014/analytics/
Cologne, 9th of June, 2014
========================

Provenance is a record that describes people, institutions, entities, and activities involved in producing, influencing, or delivering a digital artifact. There have been several efforts dedicated to the design of data models for provenance, the integration with legacy systems, the generation and reconstruction of provenance. However, relatively little attention has been given to the principled use of provenance for analyzing the behavior of systems, building models to predict their behavior, and recognizing anomalous situations.

In this workshop, we will bring researchers and practitioners together to discuss principles and approaches to provenance analysis and analytics. It is anticipated that the submissions and workshop discussions will form the foundations of a survey on the usage of provenance.

Topics of interest:
- Algorithms for provenance analysis and transformation
- Machine learning techniques applied to provenance
- Reasoning systems for provenance
- Implementation, scalability, and performance of provenance analysis
- Predictive models based on provenance
- Applications of provenance analysis/analytics
- Provenance based quality analysis, trust rating, reputation
- Online and offline use of provenance
- Provenance for auditing and accountability
- Privacy issues pertaining to provenance
- Reasoning with incomplete or uncertain provenance
- Usability of provenance
- Industrial experience with provenance


Submission details and important dates

This workshop will be highly interactive and discussion-based. Authors are invited to submit short papers (1-4 pages in LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/lncs)) describing frameworks for provenance that are under development (or being deployed for real use),  applications of provenance that illustrate the use of provenance in practical settings, description of a vision or new requirements for provenance based on practical use.

Submission Deadline: May 4th 2014. 

Submissions can be sent through https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=provanalytics14. Note: No proceedings will be published, but accepted submissions will be made available online at http://provenanceweek.org/2014/analytics/. Authors are also encouraged to submit to TAPP or IPAW.

Organizers: Reza B'Far, Juliana Freire, Daniel Garijo,Yolanda Gil, Trung Dong Huynh, John Ibbotson, Timothy Lebo, Luc Moreau, Tom de Nies and Curt Tilmes.
