                    1st Workshop on LOng term Preservation for big
Scientific data  (LOPS 2014)


http://lipade.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/lops/
                              Â
                 In conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on
Data Engineering (ICDE 2014)

                                      March, 31 - April 4, 2014 - Chicago,
IL, USA

----- Aim :

Scientific data collected with modern sensors or dedicated detectors exceed
very often the perimeter of the initial scientific design in different
application domains. These data including experiments and simulations are
obtained more and more frequently with large material and human efforts.Â
For instance high energy physics and astrophysics experiments involve
multi-annual developments. Hence, the preservation of big data sets
produced is of permanent concern and has been addressed in various
disciplines at different levels. However, the challenge of digital
preservation of scientific data lies in the need to preserve not only the
dataset itself but also the ability it has to deliver knowledge to future
user community. A real scientific research asset allows future users to
reanalyze the data within new contexts. In fact, the data should be
preserved long term such that the access and the re-use are made possible
and lead to an enhancement of the initial investment. It is!
  therefore of outmost importance to pursue coherent and vigorous
approaches to preserve the scientific data at long term.

The overall goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to
sharing original ideas, discussing and refining future research challenges
in digital longevity of big scientific data in different application
domains.

----- Topics of Interest :

The topics of interest for LOPS include, but are not limited to:

- Scientific data storage for long term digital preservation
- Long term experiments and simulation representation
- Long term data preservation for scientific workflows
- Accessing long term digitalized scientific data
- Data quality of long term digital preservation
- Privacy and security of scientific data
- Re-using approaches for scientific data
- Data Provenance for long term digital preservation
- Semantic to scientific data for long term digital preservation

----- Paper submission :

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that
are not being considered for publication in any other workshops.

Papers submissions are limited to maximum 8 pages, formatted according to
the ICDE formatting guidelines.

All papers should be submitted in PDF format using the Workshop online
submission system at : https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/LOPS2014

The papers from the workshop will be published in the ICDE proceedings and
will become available through the IEEE Xplore.

----- Important Dates :

* Submission deadline: November 10, 2013
