CFP: Workshop on Virtualization Technologies in Distributed Computing (VTDC 2010)
(our apologies if you receive this announcement multiple times) Call for Papers --------------- Workshop on Virtualization Technologies in Distributed Computing (VTDC 2010) in conjunction with the 19-th International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC-19) Chicago, Illinois, USA, June 22, 2010 http://www.grid-appliance.org/wiki/index.php/VTDC10 WORKSHOP SCOPE Virtualization has proven to be a powerful enabler in the field of distributed computing and has led to the emergence of the cloud computing paradigm and the provisioning of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). This new paradigm raises challenges ranging from performance evaluation of IaaS platforms, through new methods of resource management including providing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and energy- and cost-efficient schedules, to the emergence of supporting technologies such as virtual appliance management. For the last three years, the VTDC workshop has served as a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences studying the challenges and opportunities created by IaaS/cloud computing and virtualization technologies. VTDC brings together researchers in academia and industry who are involved in research and development on resource virtualization technologies and on techniques applied to the management of virtualized environments in distributed systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: VTDC 2010 topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) * Virtualization in data centers * Virtualization for resource management and QoS assurance * Security aspects of using virtualization in a distributed environment * Virtual networks * Virtual data, storage as a service * Fault tolerance in virtualized environments * Virtualization in P2P systems * Virtualization-based adaptive/autonomic systems * The creation and management of environments/appliances * Virtualization technologies * Performance modeling (applications and systems) * Virtualization techniques for energy/thermal management * Case studies of applications on IaaS platforms * Deployment studies of virtualization technologies * Tools relevant to virtualization SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submitted papers should be limited to 8 pages (including tables, images, and references) and should be formatted according to the ACM SIGS Style. Please use the official HPDC conference submission site to submit your paper; only pdf format is accepted. All papers will receive at least three reviews. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register or the workshop and present the paper. The authors of the best paper in the workshop will receive a best-paper award. PROCEEDINGS The proceedings of the workshop will be published by the ACM. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March 1, 2010 (11:59 PM EST) Author notification: March 26, 2010 Final papers due: April 14, 2010 Workshop: June 22, 2010 SUBMISSION SITE Official HPDC conference submission site, https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/hpdc/ WORKSHOP WEBSITE http://www.grid-appliance.org/wiki/index.php/VTDC10 WORKSHOP CHAIRS General Chair: Renato Figueiredo, University of Florida Program Chair: Frederic Desprez, INRIA Steering Committee: Jose A.

CFP: VPACT 2010: Third International Workshop on Virtualization Performance: Analysis, Characterization and Tools
(our apologies if you receive this announcement multiple times) VPACT 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Third International Workshop on Virtualization Performance: Analysis, Characterization and Tools March 28, 2010 White Plains, New York (co-located with IEEE ISPASS 2010) The International Workshop on Virtualization Performance: Analysis, Characterization and Tools (VPACT) is a selective venue for reporting and discussing new initial results in the measurement, characterization, analysis, and modeling of the performance of virtualized computer systems, including the tools to support such work. VPACT is interested in results at all scales, including multicore/manycore processors, mobile devices, desktops, servers, data centers, clusters, parallel supercomputers, and distributed virtualized computing environments. VPACT 2010 seeks papers from researchers and practitioners in both academia and industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following, in the context of virtualized computer systems: - Performance measurement, characterization, analysis, and modeling - Power measurement characterization, analysis, and modeling - Workload measurement characterization, analysis, and modeling - Benchmarks and benchmarking - Evaluation of hardware virtualization features - Evaluation of virtualization software (VMMs, etc) - Evaluation of virtualization services (Clouds, etc) - Evaluation of scalability in virtualized environments - Evaluation of innovative uses of virtualization - Interaction of virtualization and multicore/manycore architectures - Interaction of virtualization and parallel computing - Interaction of language and OS virtual machines - Tools and techniques Papers should be no more than 10 pages in length, should be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings style (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates), and must be in PDF format. Reviewing is single-blind. Submission instructions are available on the workshop web site, http://vpact.org. DATES Submission deadline: February 1, 2010 Notification: March 1, 2010 Final form: March 8, 2010 Workshop: March 28, 2010 ORGANIZATION General Chair Mazin Yousif, IBM Program Chair Peter Dinda, Northwestern University Publicity Chair Ming Zhao, Florida International University Program Committee Patrick Bridges, University of New Mexico Ron Brightwell, Sandia National Labs Kshitij Doshi, Intel Renato Figueiredo, University of Florida Russ Joseph, Northwestern University John Lange, Northwestern University Arthur Maccabe, Oak Ridge National Labs Elmoustapha Ould-ahmed-vall, Intel Dhabaleswar Panda, Ohio State University Kevin Pedretti, Sandia National Labs Stephen Scott, Oak Ridge National Labs Benjamin Serebrin, AMD Tim Sherwood, UC Santa Barbara Seetharami Seelam, IBM Research Karsten Schwan, Georgia Tech Richard Uhlig, Intel Bhuvan Urgaonkar, Penn State Peter Varman, Rice University Dongyan Xu, Purdue Ming Zhao, Florida International University -- Ming Zhao, Assistant Professor School of Computing and Information Sciences Florida International University Tel: (305) 348-2034, Fax: (305) 348-3549 Web: http://www.cis.fiu.edu/~zhaom
