CloudPerf 2014 - IEEE 2014 International Workhsop on Performance Aspects of Cloud and Service Virtualization(2014)

The workshop welcome various different kinds of papers that could formalize, simplify and optimize the performance aspects of existing cloud and virtualization infrastructures in science, engineering and business. The papers may address issues including performance models, performance engineering methods, and real world practices leading to cloud and virtualization services and solutions that provide users with efficient techniques for virtualizing and managing their own high performance cloud systems. Papers of applied research, industrial experience reports, work-in-progress and vision papers with different criteria for each category are also solicited. Extensions of selected papers will be published in a journal special issue.
Topics of interests of CloudPerf 2014 include, but are not limited to:
? Performance metrics for adaptation and dynamics in Clouds
? Performance measurement techniques in Clouds and virtualization systems
? Performance Models for resource contention between virtual machines
? Performance issues of I/O virtualization
? Scheduling mechanisms and performance for virtualized resources and services
? Scalability, robustness and resilience of Clouds
? Quality of Service in Clouds
? User models and workload characterization in Clouds and virtualization systems
? Performance of virtual storage
? Impact of virtualization on the performance of memory, CPU and I/O intensive applications
? Capability and performance of network emulation
? Performance limitations of cloud services and technologies for capability and capacity computing
? Experiences, performance and reliability of running scientific applications in clouds
? Power/Energy efficiency
? Security Issues and its performance evaluation
