we apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP ================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS 8th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '13) as part of SC 13, Denver, Colorado | sponsored by ACM sighpc ================================================================= Date: November 22, 2013 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Paper Submission Deadline: September 23, 2013 CALL FOR PAPERS Virtualization has become a common abstraction layer in modern data centers, enabling resource owners to manage complex infrastructures independently of their applications. Conjointly, virtualization is becoming a driving technology for a manifold of industry grade IT services. The cloud concept includes the notion of a separation between resource owners and users, adding services such as hosted application frameworks and queueing. Utilizing the same infrastructure, clouds carry significant potential for use in cpu-intensive or data-intensive computing. The ability of clouds to provide for requests and releases of vast computing resources dynamically and close to the marginal cost of providing the services is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. This workshop aims to bring together industrial providers with the application community in order to foster discussion, collaboration and mutual exchange of knowledge and experience. The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections. Lightning talks are limited to 5 minutes. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Management, deployment and monitoring of VM-based environments - VM-cloud performance monitoring - VM cloud topology management and optimization - Operating systems virtualization supportpptimization - VM-based cloud performance modelling - Network virtualization for VM-environments - Data virtualization - Cloudbursting - Evolved grid architectures including such based on network virtualization - Workload characterization for VM-based environments - Optimized communication libraries/protocols in the cloud - System and process/bytecode VM convergence - Cloud frameworks and APIs - GPU Virtualization architectures and APIs - Checkpointing/migration of large compute jobs - Instrumentation interfaces and languages - VMM performance (auto-)tuning on various load types - Cloud reliability, fault-tolerance, and security - Heterogeneous virtualized environments - Paravirtualized I/O - Services in cloud HPC - Research and education use cases - Virtualization in cloud, cluster and grid environments - Cross-layer VM optimizations - Cloud HPC use cases including optimizations - Energy-aware virtualization - Performance and cost modelling - QoS and and service levels - Languages for describing highly-distributed compute jobs - VM cloud and cluster distribution algorithms, load balancing - Instrumentation interfaces and languages - Hypervisor extensions and tools for cluster and grid computing - Virtual machine monitor platforms - Cluster provisioning in the cloud Important Dates: Rolling Paper registration September 23, 2013 - Full paper submission October 21, 2013 - Acceptance notification November 8, 2013 - Camera-ready version due Lightning Talks: August 9, 2013 - Deadline for lightning talk abstracts September 2, 2013 - Lightning talk notification November 22, 2013 - Workshop Date TPC CHAIR Michael Alexander (chair), TU Wien, Austria Gianluigi Zanetti (co-chair), CRS4, Italy Anastassios Nanos (co-chair), NTUA, Greece PROGRAM COMMITTEE Costas Bekas, IBM, Switzerland Jakob Blomer, CERN Giovanni Busonera, CRS4, Italy Roberto Canonico, University of Napoli Federico II, Italy Simon Crosby, Bromium, USA Tommaso Cucinotta, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, Ireland Casimer DeCusatis, IBM, USA William Gardner, University of Guelph, USA Marcus Hardt, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany Sverre Jarp, CERN, Switzerland Xuxian Jiang, NC State, USA Krishna Kant, George Mason University, USA Romeo Kinzler, IBM, Switzerland Nectarios Koziris, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Simone Leo, CRS4, Italy Jean-Marc Menaud, Ecole des Mines de Nantes, France Dimitrios Nikolopoulos, Queen's University of Belfast, UK Josh Simons, VMWare, USA Borja Sotomayor, University of Chicago, USA Yoshio Turner, HP Labs, USA Kurt Tutschku, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden 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 8 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 the ACM International Conference Format Guidelines: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/sigguide-v2.2sp Style template: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates Abstract Submission Link: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=14791 LIGHTNING TALKS Lightning Talks are non-paper track synoptical in nature that 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. GENERAL INFORMATION The workshop will be held as part of SC’13, Denver, Colorado.
