SVM 2012 - 6th International DMTF Workshop on Systems and Virtualization Management: Standards and the Cloud SVM 2012

6th International DMTF Workshop on Systems and
Virtualization Management:
Standards and the Cloud SVM 2012
http://dmtf.org/svm12
October 2012
Conference on Network and Service Management
Las Vegas, Nevada USA
Call for Papers and Call for Posters
The DMTF Academic Alliance announces the creation of the sixth workshop dedicated to academic research on standards and new technologies for systems and virtualization management. This event comes in addition to the technical and developers' events organized for several years by the DMTF, and will take place the week of October 22 in Las Vegas, Nevada USA. We will be holding a poster session in addition to the workshop.
The primary theme of SVM 2012 will be "Systems and Virtualization Management: Standards and the Cloud". With the advent and increasing popularity of Cloud Computing, systems management and virtualization management technology has taken on increasing importance. The goal of SVM 2012 is to illuminate related standards and research issues, covering areas such as: what are the implications of standards for virtualization in Cloud Computing, what advances in information models and protocols aid in managing Clouds, what new problems will we incur when managing Cloud offerings and services, and how management itself might benefit from virtualization and the Cloud. Submissions on topics related to managing Clouds, virtualization of distributed resources/services and work in management standardization are thus particularly encouraged.
Papers submitted to SVM'12 must not have been published, accepted for publication, or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Virtualization
Management of Compute Clouds
Management of Storage Clouds
Use of Virtualization for Management
Management of Green Cloud Computing
