TaPP '11 Call for Contributions Now Available

[Lionel Garth Jones]

The Program Committee for the 3rd Workshop on the Theory and Practice of
Provenance (TaPP '11) invites you to submit short papers on
ongoing work.

TaPP '11 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing
innovative work in the area of provenance. With the deluge of digital data
we are currently experiencing, it has become increasingly important to
capture and understand the origins and derivation of data--its
provenance. Provenance provides important documentation that is an
essential part of the quality of data, and it is essential to the trust
we put in, for example, the data we find on the Web and the data that is
derived from scientific experiments.

The workshop may cover any topic related to theoretical or practical
aspects of provenance, including but not limited to: provenance in
databases, work flows, programming languages, security, software
engineering, or systems; provenance on the Web; or real-world
applications of or requirements for provenance.

The Program Committee is determined to make TaPP '11 a real workshop at
which new ideas are discussed and developed and where the participants
can learn how other subjects make use of provenance. While the workshop
will have online proceedings, the Committee does not want the workshop
to become another "mini-conference" that has nothing but paper
presentations. The Committee is eager to receive short papers and vision
papers describing challenges for provenance research, brief descriptions
of new applications, proposals for mini-tutorials, pie-in-the sky
research ideas, and anything that will create a successful workshop.
While brief and readable descriptions of research are encouraged,
recycled conference submissions are strongly discouraged.

Submissions are due April 8, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

More information and submission guidelines are available at
http://www.usenix.org/tapp11/cfpa

Tapp '11 will take place June 20-22, 2011, in Heraklion, Crete, Greece,
the week after the meeting of ACM SIGMOD in Athens.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Sincerely,

Peter Buneman, University of Edinburgh
