WORKSHOP FOCUS
----------------
The SWEET 2013 workshop is a continuation of the successful first edition of the SWEET workshop held at SIGMOD 2012.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the potential of cloud-based computing in facilitating the convergence between workflows and large-scale data processing. Concretely, the workshop is expected to provide insight into:

- performance issues: efficient data processing using cloud-based workflows,
- modelling issues: best practices in data-intensive workflow modelling and enactment,
- support technology issues: how the potential synergy between large-scale data processing and workflow technology can be exploited in a principled way.

The workshop aims to address issues of
(i) Architecture,
(ii) Models and Languages,
(iii) Applications of cloud-based workflows.

----------------
TOPICS
----------------

Architectures:
- cloud-based, scalable workflow enactment architectures,
- efficient data storage for data-intensive workflows,
- optimizing execution of data-intensive workflows,
- workflow scheduling in cloud computing.

Models, Languages:
- languages for data-intensive workflows, data processing pipelines and data-mashups,
- verification and validation of data-intensive workflows,
- programming models for cloud computing,
- access control and authorisation models, privacy, security, risk and trust issues,
- workflow patterns for data-intensive workflows.

Applications of cloud-based workflow:
- bioinformatics,
- data mashups,
- semantic web data management,
- big data analytics.
