Yolanda Gil @ Systems Biology Task Force - *Today* at 11AM EDT - please be aware of daylight savings

Dear All,

Please join me today at the Systems Biology Task force, where Yolanda Gil
will give us an overview of the exciting workflow+provenance work going on
at ISI.
Please be aware that due to daylight savings, in some places the telco
today may happen 1 hour earlier than usual.


This is a good resource for figuring out that the time in your timezone
will be at 11AM EDT: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html



*Semantic Workflows and Provenance-Aware Software*

Yolanda Gil
Information Sciences Institute
University of Southern California

I will talk about the Wings workflow system that uses semantic constraints
to reason about workflows, and discuss briefly its application to genomics
analysis.  I will then argue semantic workflow systems are a new breed of
software that is provenance-aware, using metadata of its inputs and
generating metadata for its outputs.  I will also present our approach to
publishing workflows as Linked Data, including abstractions that make them
more reusable.
