** Timeline and Important Dates **
Abstracts Due: April 20th, 2015
Submission Deadline: April 27th, 2015
Poster Abstracts Due: May 25th, 2014 (To be aligned with BICOD)
Notification of Acceptance: June 1st, 2015

Workshop: July 8-9th, 2015

** Focus **
Provenance provides needed insight into the origins and derivation of
data, as well as formal documentation that can be instrumental in data
quality assessment, program debugging, and search.
Research topics of relevance to TAPP span the entire metadata lifecycle:
from modelling to capture, storage, usage, querying and mining, to
security and interoperable exchange across systems.
TAPP also invites application-oriented contributions, on provenance-aware
systems and other practical usage of provenance.

** Workshop Format **
In keeping with its successful tradition, TaPP¹15 is a workshop, as
opposed to a mini-conference. We aim to provide a platform for presenting
and discussing a range of fresh ideas, and actively encourage
inter-disciplinary work beyond the confines of the data management
community.

** What to Submit **
Contributions are typically 4 and never more than 6 pages long. They
should describe challenges for provenance research, brief descriptions of
new applications, pie-in-the sky research ideas, and anything else that
will help engage the researchers¹ minds.
While brief and readable descriptions of research are encouraged, recycled
conference submissions are strongly discouraged.
Contributions are collected into online proceedings, hosted by Usenix and
indexed by DBLP, Google Scholar, etc.

We expect the program to include a mixture of presentations and
discussions.
Authors should expect ample opportunity to present their ideas at the
workshop.

*NEW*  In addition to papers, we anticipate inviting posters for a
dedicated poster session, possibly jointly with BICOD.

Submissions should be no more than 4 pages in ACM SIGPLAN (two-column)
format.
If supporting material is needed, an extra 4 pages may be submitted, but
the committee will not be obliged to read them.

All contributions should be submitted online at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tapp15.
As in previous years, accepted TaPP papers will be open access via a
USENIX web site.
