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. 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.
