======================================================================== Call for Papers 4th ProvenanceWeek 8th International Provenance and Annotation Workshop (IPAW '20) 12th USENIX Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP '20) --- June 22-25, 2020, UNC Charlotte, USA --- https://provenanceweek.org/2020/ ======================================================================== ========= OVERVIEW ========= Provenance describes the entities and processes involved in producing or otherwise influencing a resource. It provides a critical foundation for assessing the authenticity of computationally derived results, enabling trust, and facilitating reuse and reproducibility. Provenance provides insight into the origins and derivation of data for data quality assessments, debugging and search. Topics in provenance include capture, storage, usage, security, interoperability, and applications. Of particular interest are the fundamental problems that must be solved in order to make provenance a useful and usable tool in the world today: What theoretical problems need to be solved? What practical problems can we tackle? What lessons have we learned from real implementations? Continuing the first three successful ProvenanceWeek events in 2014, 2016, and 2018, ProvenanceWeek 2020 aims to provide a venue for both mature research contributions and early-stage research in the area of provenance, and to attract a broad audience of researchers working on provenance techniques, researchers in other disciplines that make use of, or apply, provenance techniques, and participants from industry or government. ProvenanceWeek 2020 will feature two primary events organized into tracks, the International Provence and Annotation Workshop (IPAW) track and the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP) track, and in addition, will feature a joint poster/demo track. ====== Topics ====== The goal of ProvenanceWeek is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are studying, applying, and advancing provenance in scientific and scholarly uses. Topics of interest for ProvenanceWeek include, but are not limited to the following: * Provenance visualization, and human interaction with provenance * Provenance for big data and extreme computing * Provenance for attribution and trust * Provenance for transparency and accountability * Security and privacy implications of provenance * Provenance, social media, and the semantic web * Provenance analytics, discovery, and reasoning about provenance and its quality * Data sharing and data citation * Provenance of workflows and annotations * Standardization of provenance models, services, and representations * Provenance management system prototypes and commercial solutions * Applications of provenance in real-life settings * Theoretical foundations of provenance * Connections between provenance and established topics in other research fields (programming languages, security, software engineering, fairness, etc.) * Provenance-based audit and forensics * Design, performance and scalability of provenance systems =============== Important Dates =============== - Co-located event proposal deadline: February 1, 2020 - Co-located event acceptance notification: February 15, 2020 - Abstract deadline: March 1, 2020 - Paper deadline: March 8, 2020 - Demo / Poster deadline: April 9, 2020 - Author notification: May 1, 2020 - Camera ready due: June 4, 2020 ===================== Conference Organizers ===================== - Boris Glavic (Illinois Institute of Technology, USA) - ProvenanceWeek PC Chair - Vanessa Braganholo (Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil) - IPAW PC Chair - Thomas Pasquier (University of Bristol, UK) - TaPP PC Chair - David Koop (Northern Illinois University, USA) - Poster/Demo Chair - Thomas Moyer (University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA) - Local Chair =========== Submissions =========== Authors can submit papers to either the IPAW, TaPP, or demo/poster track of ProvenanceWeek. Submission of the same or closely related work to both tracks is expressly disallowed. The submission site for all tracks is: https://pw2020.thomasmoyer.org/pw2020/ ========================== IPAW Track Research Papers ========================== Authors are invited to submit original research work the IPAW track. This track solicits full research papers that describe mature, high-quality research on the topics of interest of the Provenance Week. Papers submitted to IPAW are expected to have some form of initial validation, such as a case study or preliminary experiments showing the feasibility of the proposed approach. A proceedings volume will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Springer offers authors the choice to publish their papers as open access at an additional fee. Papers must be: =============== - not published or under review elsewhere - no longer than 16 pages + references - formatted according to the LNCS guidelines https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines - submitted as PDF files to the IPAW track at: https://pw2020.thomasmoyer.org/pw2020/ ========================== TaPP Track Research Papers ========================== The TaPP track continues the tradition of TaPP to provide a genuine workshop environment for discussing and developing new ideas and exploring connections between disciplines and between academic research on provenance and practical applications. We invite innovative and creative contributions, including papers outlining new challenges for provenance research, promising formal approaches to provenance, innovative use of provenance, experience-based insights, resourceful experiments, and visionary (and possibly risky) ideas. The provenance community is very diverse, we therefore strongly encourage authors to contextualize their work. Papers must be: =============== - not published or under review elsewhere - no longer than 5 pages (excluding references and appendix) following USENIX format https://www.usenix.org/conferences/author-resources/paper-templates - Submitting shorter papers is not discouraged. Specifically, papers presenting visionary or preliminary ideas often tend to be shorter than the page limit. Please clearly prefix your paper title with “vision” when appropriate. - Furthermore, TaPP is a workshop primarily focused on the presentation of early-stage research papers. If the page limit would preclude a future full-length publication (e.g. to VLDB), please, feel free to submit a shorter paper. If you want to make use of the option, please add the following mention at the end of your abstract: \textbf{We limited the paper to 4 pages as to allow a future full-length. publication.}. This will be taken into account by the reviewers. This mention should be removed in the camera-ready version. - Please, note that the appendix may contain additional material as appropriate (e.g. extended proof, full evaluation break down), but it should not be essential to the comprehension of the paper. - submitted as PDF files to the TaPP track at: https://pw2020.thomasmoyer.org/pw2020/ The proceedings of TaPP will be published by USENIX (open access). ================== Poster/Demo papers ================== ProvenanceWeek encourages the presentation of posters and demonstrations. Proposals for posters and demonstrations should be limited to a short description. For posters please describe the poster content and research problem. For demonstrations clearly indicate what is going to be demonstrated, the significance of the research contribution, and/or applications. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be presented during a separate session at the workshop. Demo and poster proposal must be: ================================= - no longer than 2 pages - formatted according to the USENIX instructions: https://www.usenix.org/conferences/author-resources/paper-templates - submitted as PDF files to the poster track at: https://pw2020.thomasmoyer.org/pw2020/ - Poster authors are strongly encouraged to include an optional draft of their poster layout and content. This addition gives a clear idea to reviewers of what to expect and provides the opportunity for authors to receive feedback. All submissions should be in PDF format. Those who intend to show demos are also highly encouraged to submit a short accompanying video or other supplementary materials. =============================== Proposals for Co-Located Events =============================== We are looking for a small number of original and high-quality events, which focus on novel and visionary directions for provenance. Such events should seek to welcome work in progress that is not prime for proper refereed publications. Events that help broaden the community and increase its impact are particularly welcome. Examples of co-located events include tutorials, challenges, and discussions on specific topics. Co-located events should not issue formal calls for papers and should not have formal proceedings (since papers should be sent to IPAW or TAPP). Co-located events can be half a day or a full day. If you are interested in organizing a co-located event at Provenance Week, please send an email to [bglavic] at [iit] o [edu] with: - event title - event aims - organizers - proposed format - duration - how it helps broaden community and increase impact Important Dates: ---------------- - Proposal Submission: Febuary 1st, 2020 - Notification of Acceptance: Feburary 15th, 2020
