PDP 2010 - The 18th Euromicro International Conference on
Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing.
17-19 February 2010, Pisa, Italy, http://www.pdp2010.org
Special
Session on
"Virtualization in
Distributed Systems"
Paper submission deadline: July, 27th, 2009
Virtualization
technologies in the distributed systems community are raising significant
interest. The widespread deployment and the native support for
hardware-assisted virtualization in the AMD and Intel processors available in
today's desktops and computer clusters enable research challenges to be solved
more efficiently. Virtualization technologies include virtual machines, virtual
networks, virtual data, virtual storage, virtual applications, and virtual
instruments. Distributed computing includes Grid computing, cluster computing,
peer-to-peer computing and mobile computing.
The special session on
Virtualization in Distributed Systems is intended to be a forum for the
exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of virtualization technologies for
distributed systems, the challenges and opportunities offered by the
development of virtualization solutions themselves, as well as case studies in
the applications of virtualization in distributed systems and in particular in
Grid computing. The general venue will be a good occasion to share, to learn,
and to discuss the latest results in this field of research.
The workshop
program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers. The topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
- virtualization
solutions for distributed systems,
- virtualized
computer clusters
- virtualization
and Grid computing environments
- performance
and evaluation of virtualization in distributed systems
- virtualization
enabled hardware,
- applications
of virtualization technologies in Grid computing
- high-speed
interconnect and virtualized I/O for virtualization solutions
- virtualized
I/O and storage.
Important dates
- Papers due: July 27th, 2009
- Acceptance notification: October 5th, 2009
- Camera-ready versions: October 30th, 2009
Submission guidelines
Prospective authors
should submit a full paper not exceeding 5000 words in length and including a
150-200 word abstract. To facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first
page of the paper should contain only the title and abstract. Proceedings will be
published by IEEE CS. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and
present the paper at the Conference.
Papers submitted for
the workshops or special sessions must be submitted through the conference
submission system with an indication of the name of the workshop/special
session. Papers must adhere to the formatting rules of the conference and will
undergo the same review process as other papers submitted to the conference.
Paper submission will
be open one month before the actual submission deadline. Submissions will be
handled through www.easychair.org.
Submission instructions will be hosted on this page.
