==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 12th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '17) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 18-22, 2017, Frankfurt, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ==================================================================== Date: June 22, 2017 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Abstract Submission Deadline: February 28, 2017 Paper Submission Deadline: April 25, 2017 (Springer LNCS) Abstract/Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=23179 Call for Papers Virtualization technologies constitute a key enabling factor for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; I/O Virtualization allows physical NICs/HBAs to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology and IP addressing, provides the fundamental ground on top of which evolved network services can be realized with an unprecedented level of dynamicity and flexibility; the increasingly adopted paradigm of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) promises to extend this flexibility to the control and data planes of network paths. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume. Topics of Interest The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC and the cloud. Major Topics - Virtualization in supercomputing environments, HPC clusters, HPC in the cloud and grids - Virtualization in enterprise HPC and microvisors - ARM-based hypervisors, ARM virtualization extensions - GPU, FPGA and many-core accelerator virtualization - Large-scale virtualization in domains such as finance and government - Container security - Configuration management tools for containers (including CFEngine, Puppet, i.a.) - Emerging topics including multi-kernel approaches and,NUMA in hypervisors The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) aims to bring together researchers and industrial practitioners facing the challenges posed by virtualization in order to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, enabling research to ultimately provide novel solutions for virtualized computing systems of tomorrow. The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections, plus lightning talks that are limited to 5 minutes. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations. Important Dates February 28, 2017 - Abstract Submission Deadline April 25, 2017 - Paper submission deadline May 30, 2017 - Acceptance notification June 22, 2017 - Workshop Day June 25, 2017 - Camera-ready version due Chair Michael Alexander (chair), scaledinfra technologies, Austria Anastassios Nanos (co-chair), NTUA, Greece Balazs Gerofi (co-chair), RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, Japan Program committee Stergios Anastasiadis, University of Ioannina, Greece Jakob Blomer, CERN, Europe Ron Brightwell, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Eduardo César, Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain Julian Chesterfield, OnApp, UK Stephen Crago, USC ISI, USA Christoffer Dall, Columbia University, USA Patrick Dreher, MIT, USA Robert Futrick, Cycle Computing, USA Maria Girone, CERN, Europe Kyle Hale, Northwestern University, USA Romeo Kinzler, IBM, Switzerland Brian Kocoloski, University of Pittsburgh, USA Nectarios Koziris, National Technical University of Athens, Greece John Lange, University of Pittsburgh, USA Che-Rung Lee, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan Giuseppe Lettieri, University of Pisa, Italy Qing Liu, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA Nikos Parlavantzas, IRISA, France Kevin Pedretti, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Amer Qouneh, University of Florida, USA Carlos Reaño, Technical University of Valencia, Spain Thomas Ryd, CFEngine, Norway Josh Simons, VMWare, USA Borja Sotomayor, University of Chicago, USA Craig Stewart, Indiana University, USA Anata Tiwari, San Diego Supercomputer Center, USA Kurt Tutschku, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden Yasuhiro Watashiba, Osaka University, Japan Nicholas Wright, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA Chao-Tung Yang, Tunghai University, Taiwan Paper Submission-Publication Papers submitted to the workshop will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee and external reviewers. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 10 pages, including tables and figures at a main font size no smaller than 11 point. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS volume. . The format must be according to the Springer LNCS Style. Initial submissions are in PDF; authors of accepted papers will be requested to provide source files. Format Guidelines: ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip Abstract, Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=23179 Lightning Talks Lightning Talks are non-paper track, synoptical in nature and are strictly limited to 5 minutes. They can be used to gain early feedback on ongoing research, for demonstrations, to present research results, early research ideas, perspectives and positions of interest to the community. Submit abstract via the main submission link. General Information The workshop is one day in length and will be held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance (ISC) 2017, June 18-22, Frankfurt, Germany. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
