July 9-13, 2018, London, UK

Overview
The 3rd ProvenanceWeek will take place in London, UK, during the week of July 9-13, 2018. Following successful ProvenanceWeek events in 2014 and 2016, this year's installment will again co-locate the IPAW and TaPP workshops as well as several satellite events that focus on novel directions for provenance. IPAW and TaPP build on a successful history of provenance workshops that bring together researchers from a wide range of computer science fields including workflows, semantic web, databases, high performance computing, distributed systems, operating systems, programming languages, and software engineering, as well as researchers from other fields, such as biology and physics that have urgent provenance needs.
Provenance is increasingly important in data science, cloud computing, workflow systems, and many other areas. By providing a record of the data creation process and of dependencies between data, provenance information is essential for tracing errors in transformed data back to erroneous inputs, access control, auditing, repeatability and reproducibility, evaluating data quality, and establishing ownership of data.
Topics
The goal of ProvenanceWeek is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are studying, applying, and advancing provenance in scientific and scholarly uses.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Provenance management system prototypes and commercial solutions
- Provenance analytics, querying, and reasoning about provenance
- Visualizing provenance information
- Performance aspects of provenance capture, storage, and analytics
- Standardization of provenance models and representations
- Security and privacy implications of provenance
- Applications of provenance in real life settings
- Human interaction with provenance
- Retroactive reconstruction of provenance
- Using provenance for evaluating data quality and trust in data
- Novel methods for capturing provenance
- Integrating provenance information
- Interoperability among provenance-aware systems
- Provenance discovery

Submissions
Authors can submit papers to either the IPAW or TaPP track of ProvenanceWeek. Submission of the same or closely related work to both tracks is expressly disallowed. ProvenanceWeek also accepts posters and demonstration proposals that will be included in the IPAW Springer proceedings.
IPAW Track Research Papers
Authors are invited to submit original research work. The IPAW track solicits full research papers (12 pages). The workshop has traditionally been organized around the presentation of selected, peer-reviewed high-quality papers, published by Springer.
Papers must be:
- not published or under review elsewhere
- no longer than 12 pages, including references and appendices
- formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
- submitted as PDF files to the IPAW track at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=provenanceweek2018
A proceedings volume will be published after the event in the Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Springer offers “Open choice” for authors who wish to provide open access to their papers.

TaPP Track Research Papers
TaPP 2018 continues the tradition of providing a genuine workshop environment for discussing and developing new ideas and exploring connections between disciplines and between academic research on provenance and practical applications. We invite innovative and creative contributions, including papers outlining new challenges for provenance research, promising formal approaches to provenance, innovative use of provenance, experience-based insights, resourceful experiments, and visionary (and possibly risky) ideas. Proposals for tutorials, panel or group discussions, reports on early stage research, or any other activities that will create a successful workshop are encouraged.
Papers must be:
- not published or under review elsewhere
- no longer than 4 pages; an extra 4 pages of supporting material may be submitted, but the reviewers will not be obliged to read them
- formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN two-column format (http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/)
- submitted as PDF files to the TaPP track at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=provenanceweek2018
As in previous years, contributions to TaPP will be published online as open access; authors retain copyright to their submissions and full-length papers based on TaPP contributions may be submitted to other venues subsequently.

Posters
ProvenanceWeek encourages the presentation of early work as posters. Proposals for posters should be limited to a 4 page description of the poster content, formatted using the LNCS guidelines. Accepted posters will be presented during a separate session at the workshop.
Poster descriptions must be:
- no longer than 4 pages
- formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
- submitted as PDF files to the Poster track at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=provenanceweek2018
- accompanied by a preliminary version of the poster as a supplementary file
Poster descriptions will be included in the Springer proceedings.
Demonstrations
Demonstration proposals should be no more 4 pages long, formatted using the Springer LNCS guidelines. The proposal must describe the demonstrated system, clearly indicate what is going to be demonstrated, and state the significance of the research contribution, technologies, and/or applications.
Demonstration proposals must be:
- not published or under review elsewhere
- no longer than 4 pages
- formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
- submitted as PDF files to the Demonstration track at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=provenanceweek2018
Optionally, a video showcasing the demonstrated system may be uploaded.
Demonstration descriptions will be included in the Springer proceedings.
Co-located Events
We are looking for a small number of original and high-quality events, which focus on novel and visionary directions for provenance. Such events should seek to welcome work in progress that is not prime for proper refereed publications.
Events that help broaden the community and increase its impact are particularly welcome. Examples of co-located events include tutorials, challenges, and discussions on specific topics. Co-located events should not issue formal calls for papers and should not have formal proceedings (since papers should be sent to IPAW or TaPP). Co-located events can be half a day or a full day.
If you are interested in organizing a co-located event, please send an email to the ProvenanceWeek PC Chair with:

- event aims
- organizers
- proposed format
- duration
- how it helps broaden community and increase impact
