5th International DMTF Workshop on Systems and<br>
Virtualization Management:<br>
Standards and the Cloud SVM 2011<br>
<a href="http://dmtf.org/svm11">http://dmtf.org/svm11</a><br>
24 October 2011<br>
Conference on Network and Service Management<br>
Paris, France<br>
<br>
Call for papers<br>
The DMTF Academic Alliance announces the creation of the fifth
workshop dedicated to academic research on standards and new
technologies for systems and virtualization management. This event
comes in addition to the technical and developers' events
organized for several years by the DMTF, and will take place the
week of October 24 in Paris, France.<br>
<br>
The primary theme of SVM 2011 will be "Systems and
Virtualization Management: Standards and the Cloud". With the
advent and increasing popularity of Cloud Computing, systems
management and virtualization management technology has taken on
increasing importance. The goal of SVM 2011 is to illuminate
related standards and research issues, covering areas such as:
what are the implications of standards for virtualization in
Cloud Computing, what advances in information models and protocols
aid in managing Clouds, what new problems will we incur when
managing Cloud offerings and services, and how management itself
might benefit from virtualization and the Cloud. Submissions on
topics related to managing Clouds, virtualization of distributed
resources/services and work in management standardization are thus
particularly encouraged.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
* Virtualization<br>
- Management of Compute Clouds<br>
- Management of Storage Clouds<br>
- Use of Virtualization for Management</div>
<div><br>
* Key management issues<br>
- Infrastructure for management<br>
- Managing IaaS infrastructure<br>
- Use and extension of management standards<br>
- System management techniques<br>
