October 2012<br>
Conference on Network and Service Management<br>
Las Vegas, Nevada USA<br>
<br>
<br>
Call for Papers and Call for Posters<br>
<br>
<br>
The DMTF Academic Alliance announces the creation of the sixth
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 22 in Las Vegas, Nevada USA. We will be holding a poster
session in addition to the workshop.<br>
<br>
<br>
The primary theme of SVM 2012 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 2012 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>
Papers submitted to SVM'12 must not have been published, accepted
for publication, or be under consideration for publication
elsewhere.<br>
