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>
