Workshop on Virtualization Technologies in Distributed Computing (VTDC 2010)

in conjunction with the 19-th International Symposium on High 
Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC-19)

Chicago, Illinois, USA, June 22, 2010

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 and development on resource virtualization 
technologies and on techniques applied to the management of virtualized 
environments in distributed systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

VTDC 2010 topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
  * Virtualization in data centers
  * Virtualization for resource management and QoS assurance
  * Security aspects of using virtualization in a distributed environment
  * Virtual networks
  * Virtual data, storage as a service
  * Fault tolerance in virtualized environments
  * Virtualization in P2P systems
  * Virtualization-based adaptive/autonomic systems
  * The creation and management of environments/appliances
  * Virtualization technologies
  * Performance modeling (applications and systems)
  * Virtualization techniques for energy/thermal management
  * Case studies of applications on IaaS platforms
  * Deployment studies of virtualization technologies
  * Tools relevant to virtualization
