With the success of 1st workshop, which was held in Melbourne of Australia in 2005 (proceedings published by IEEE CS Press), the objective of the International Workshop on Grid and Peer-to-Peer based Workflows is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to report advances in grid and peer-to-peer based workflow research. The workshop will cover the broad spectrum of research relevant to grid and peer-to-peer based workflows, including, but not limited to, the following:

Grid workflow infrastructure based on the Grid toolkits such as GT4
Grid workflow API and GUI
Workflow specification languages targeting grid applications
Grid workflow execution engines that interoperate with grid services
Grid services that support workflow execution
Grid workflow verification and validation
Formal representation, e-science workflow patterns, and temporal verification
Grid workflow system performance analysis
Specialized tools for managing grid workflow such as exception handling
Decentralized grid workflow infrastructure
Peer-to-peer based workflow management in grid infrastructure
Non-functional issues, like QoS and security, in peer-to-peer based workflow
Advanced workflow use-cases based on real grid experience
Simulation environments for grid and peer-to-peer workflow reasoning
Application of business process management techniques in grid workflows
Submission Requirements
All contributions will be reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to workshop themes. Papers are expected to be no more than 12 pages (additional 2 pages allowed for a charge of 100€ per page) and should be formatted in LNCS format (see [URL=http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html]www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html[/URL] for details). Submitted papers must be written in English and identify the contribution of the paper. Please submit your manuscripts to [URL=mailto:gpww@ict.swin.edu.au]gpww@ict.swin.edu.au[/URL].
