========================================================================
                          Call for Papers
      3rd International Workshop on Virtualization Technologies in
                    Distributed Computing (VTDC-09)
                   http://grid-appliance.org/vtdc09

                     In conjunction with ICAC 2009
                    Barcelona, Spain, June 15 2009
========================================================================

Workshop scope:
---------------

Virtualization has proven to be a powerful enabler in the field of
distributed computing and has led to the emergence of the cloud
computing paradigm and the provisioning of Infrastructure-as-a-Service
(IaaS). This new paradigm raises challenges ranging from performance
evaluation of IaaS platforms, through new methods of resource management
including providing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and energy- and
cost-efficient schedules, to the emergence of supporting technologies
such as virtual appliance management.

For the last three years, the VTDC workshop has served as a forum for
the exchange of ideas and experiences studying the challenges and
opportunities created by IaaS/cloud computing and virtualization
technologies. VTDC brings together researchers in academia and industry
who are involved in  research, development and planning activities
involving the use of virtualization in the context of distributed
systems, where the opportunities and challenges with respect to the
management of such virtualized systems is of interest to the ICAC
community at large.


Important dates:
----------------
