==============================================================CALL FOR PAPERS
(VTDC 2006)
Workshop on Virtualization Technologies in Distributed Computing
held in conjunction with SC 06, the International Conference for
High Performance Computing, Networking and Storage.
==============================================================
date: November 17, 2006, Tampa, Florida, USA

General Information
The convergence of virtualization technologies and distributed computing is an
exciting development and the subject of much research in both academia and
industry. The VTDC workshop is intended to be a forum for the exchange of ideas
and experiences on the use of virtualization technologies in distributed
computing, the challenges and opportunities offered by the development of
virtual systems themselves, as well as case studies of application of
virtualization. The scope of Òvirtualization technologiesÓ includes techniques
and concepts to enable virtual machines, virtual networks, virtual data, virtual
storage, virtual applications and virtual instruments. The scope of Òdistributed
computingÓ includes Grid-computing, cluster computing, peer-to-peer computing
and mobile computing.
The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers as well
as a panel with participants from academia and industry. The proceedings of VTDC
2006 will be published in the IEEE Computer Society''s Digital Library.
VTDC 2006 topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
¥ Using virtualization technologies for resource management and QoS assurance
¥ Security aspects of using virtualization in a distributed environment
¥ Virtual networks
¥ Virtual data and storage systems
¥ Fault tolerance in virtualization
¥ Virtualization in P2P
¥ Monitoring techniques in virtualization
¥ Virtualization-based adaptive/autonomic systems
¥ Virtual datacenters
¥ Virtual environment factories and services
¥ Environment configuration
¥ Virtual machine management
¥ Modeling (applications and systems)
¥ Case studies of applications using virtual technologies
¥ Deployment studies of virtualization technologies
¥ Tools relevant to virtualization
Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished work that exposes a new
problem, advocates a specific solution, or reports on actual experience. Papers
should be submitted as full-length 8 page papers of double column text using
single spaces 10pt size type on an 8.5ÕÕx11ÕÕ paper, as per IEEE manuscript
