2013 Workshop on Interoperability in Scientific Computing **FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS - SUBMISSION DEADLINE 20th JANUARY 2013** ======================================================================== In conjunction with ICCS 2013 June 5-7 2013, Barcelona, Spain. http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/david.johnson/wisc13/
The 13th annual International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2013) will be held in Barcelona, Spain from 5th - 7th June 2013. ICCS is an ERA 2010 'A'-ranked conference series. For more details on the main conference, please visit www.iccs-meeting.org The 2nd Workshop on Interoperability in Scientific Computing (WISC '13) will be co-located with ICCS 2013. Approaches to modelling take many forms. The mathematical, computational and encapsulated components of models can be diverse in terms of complexity and scale, as well as in published implementation (mathematics, source code, and executable files). Many of these systems are attempting to solve real-world problems in isolation. However the long-term scientific interest is in allowing greater access to models and their data, and to enable simulations to be combined in order to address ever more complex issues. Markup languages, metadata specifications, and ontologies for different scientific domains have emerged as pathways to greater interoperability. Domain specific modelling languages allow for a declarative development process to be achieved. Metadata specifications enable coupling while ontologies allow cross platform integration of data. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from across scientific disciplines whose computational models require interoperability. This may arise through interactions between different domains, systems being modelled, connecting model repositories, or coupling models themselves, for instance in multi-scale or hybrid simulations. The outcomes of this workshop will be to better understand the nature of multidisciplinary computational modelling and data handling. Moreover we hope to identify common abstractions and cross-cutting themes in future interoperability research applied to the broader domain of scientific computing. The first instance of this workshop (WISC '11) was successfully held as part of the IEEE eScience conference in 2011 in Stockholm, Sweden, where all accepted papers were published in the workshops proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society and archived on IEEE eXplore. We look forward to your contributions and participation in WISC '13. **FINAL CALL FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS** We invite submissions for high-quality papers (up to 10 pages in length) within the context of scientific computing in any of the traditional sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), engineering, or scientific/mathematical modelling applied to the social sciences and humanities. Papers should address progress, results or positions in one or more of the following areas: * Use of metadata standards for annotating scientific models and data. * Curating and publishing digital models and data to online repositories. * Meta-modelling and markup languages for model description. * Theoretical frameworks for combining disparate models, multi-scale models. * Using standardised data formats in computational models. * Domain-specific ontologies for the sciences. Proceedings of the ICCS 2013 workshops will be published by Elsevier Science, and will be made available online through the open-access Procedia Computer Science. Selected papers from the conference will be considered for publication in Elsevier's Journal of Computational Science. SUBMISSION PROCESS Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not more than 10 pages, as per the rules of Procedia Computer Science. Selected papers from the conference will be considered for publication in Elsevier's Journal of Computational Science.
