===============================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS (VTDC 2007)

Workshop on Virtualization Technologies in Distributed Computing

held in conjunction with SC 07, the International Conference for
High Performance Computing, Networking and Storage.
===============================================================

date: November, 2007, Reno, NV, USA

SC 07: http://sc07.supercomputing.org/
VTDC 07: http://workspace.globus.org/vtdc07/
Last year's workshop: http://workspace.globus.org/vtdc06


General Information

The convergence of virtualization technologies and distributed computing 
is an
exciting development and the subject of much research in both academia and
industry. The VTDC workshop is intended to be a forum for the exchange 
of ideas
and experiences on the use of virtualization technologies in distributed
computing, the challenges and opportunities offered by the development of
virtual systems themselves, as well as case studies of application of
virtualization. The scope of Òvirtualization technologiesÓ includes 
techniques
and concepts to enable virtual machines, virtual networks, virtual data, 
virtual
storage, virtual applications and virtual instruments. The scope of 
Òdistributed
computingÓ includes Grid-computing, cluster computing, peer-to-peer 
computing
and mobile computing.

VTDC 2007 topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-	Using virtualization technologies for resource management and QoS 
assurance
-       Security aspects of using virtualization in a distributed environment
-       Virtual networks
-       Virtual data and storage systems
-       Fault tolerance in virtualization
-       Virtualization in P2P
-       Monitoring techniques in virtualization
-       Virtualization-based adaptive/autonomic systems
-       Virtual datacenters
-       Virtual environment factories and services
-       Environment configuration
-       Virtual machine management
-       Modeling (applications and systems)
-       Case studies of applications using virtual technologies
-       Deployment studies of virtualization technologies
-       Tools relevant to virtualization
-       Virtualization as vehicle for outsourcing
