<br><br>The seventh IEEE e-Science conference, sponsored by the IEEE Computer<br>Society's Technical Committee for Scalable Computing (TCSC), will be held in<br>Stockholm, Sweden from 5th - 8th December 2011. The Workshop on<br>
Interoperability in Scientific Computing will be held on the morning of<br>Monday 5th of December, and is co-located with the main conference.<br><br>Approaches to modelling take many forms. The mathematical, computational and<br>
encapsulated components of models can be diverse in terms of complexity and<br>scale, as well as in published implementation (mathematics, source code, and<br>executable files). Many of these systems are attempting to solve real-world<br>
problems in isolation. However the long-term scientific interest is in<br>allowing greater access to models and their data, and to enable simulations<br>to be combined in order to address ever more complex issues. Markup<br>
languages, metadata specifications, and ontologies for different scientific<br>domains have emerged as pathways to greater interoperability. Domain<br>specific modelling languages allow for a declarative development process to<br>
be achieved. Metadata specifications enable coupling while ontologies allow<br>cross platform integration of data.<br><br>The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from across<br>scientific disciplines whose computational models require interoperability.<br>
This may arise through interactions between different domains, systems being<br>modelled, connecting model repositories, or coupling models themselves, for<br>instance in multi-scale or hybrid simulations. The outcomes of this workshop<br>
will be to better understand the nature of multidisciplinary computational<br>modelling and data handling. Moreover we hope to identify common<br>abstractions and cross-cutting themes in future interoperability research<br>
applied to the broader domain of scientific computing.<br><br>CALL FOR PAPERS<br><br>We invite submissions for high-quality papers (up to 8 pages in length)<br>within the context of scientific computing in any of the traditional<br>
sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), engineering, or<br>scientific/mathematical modelling applied to the social sciences and<br>humanities. Papers should address progress, results or positions in one or<br>more of the following areas:<br>
<br>* Use of metadata standards for annotating scientific models and data<br>* Curating and publishing digital models and data to online repositories<br>* Meta-modelling and markup languages for model description<br>* Theoretical frameworks for combining disparate models, multi-scale models<br>
* Using standardised data formats in computational models<br>* Domain-specific ontologies for the sciences<br><br>It is expected that the proceedings of the e-Science 2011 workshops will be<br>published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA, and will be made<br>
available online through the IEEE Digital Library.<br><br>SUBMISSION PROCESS<br><br>Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not<br>more than 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on<br>
8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines.<br><br>Templates are available from here:<br></font></tt></div></div><tt><font size="2" face="Courier New,Courier,monospace"><a href="http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confere" target="_blank">http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confere</a></font></tt><tt><font size="2" face="Courier New,Courier,monospace">nceTemplates.html.<div class="im">
