TaPP '09: 1st Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance
Co-located with FAST '09
February 23, 2009, San Francisco, CA

Provenance, or meta-information about computations, computer systems, database queries, scientific workflows, and so on, is emerging as a central issue in a number of disciplines. The TaPP workshop continues an informal series of workshops on Principles of Provenance organized in 2007–2008, which helped raise the profile of this area within diverse research communities, such as databases, security, and programming languages. We hope both to attract serious cross-disciplinary, foundational, and highly speculative research and to facilitate needed interaction with the broader systems community and with industry. Check out the Call for Papers for more information.

Submissions due: December 5, 2008
