VTDC 2012 - VTDC12 - The 6th International Workshop on Virtualization Technologies in Distributed Computing

The convergence of virtualization technologies and distributed computing is an exciting subject and the aim of many research projects in both academia and industry.
Since the beginning of VTDC in 2006, a lot of events dealing with virtualization and cloud computing concerns have taken place. All of them have contributed to the improvement of virtualization technologies leading to more complex and larger scale systems. However, limiting the scope of Distributed Computing to Cloud platforms is not enough. For the VTDC Steering Committee, Distributed Computing is larger than just Cloud platforms and the VTDC workshop should continue to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of different virtualization technologies in distributed computing, including the management of HPC, Data-Intensive or web hosting platforms as well as concerns dealing with the virtualization of network and storage facilities.
VTDC'12 will be held in Delft, The Netherlands, in conjunction with the 21th edition of HPDC (the International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing)
Workshop scope
Building on a very successful VTDC workshops, this 6th edition will give a particular look to techniques and concepts to enable virtual machines, virtual networks, virtual data, virtual storage, virtual applications, and virtual instruments. The scope of "distributed computing" includes Cluster/Grid/Cloud computing, peer-to- peer computing, and mobile computing.
Topics
VTDC 2012 topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Virtualization for resource management and QoS assurance of distributed computing platforms
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 in HPC systems
Virtualization-based adaptive/autonomic systems
The creation and management of environments/appliances
Performance modeling (applications and systems)
Virtualization techniques for energy/thermal management
Case studies of applications on virtualized platforms
Deployment studies of virtualization technologies
Tools relevant to virtualization
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
Virtualization in data/computing centers
Submission
VTDC2012 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Submitted papers should be limited to 8 pages (including tables, images, and references) and formatted according to the ACM SIGS Style (http://www.acm.org/publications/instructions_for_p...). Document templates can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-t.... 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 for the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the HPDC proceedings.
