    Call for papers

The DMTF Academic Alliance announces the creation of the third 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 on September 22, 23 in Wuhan, China.

The primary theme of SVM 2009 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 2009 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.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    * Virtualization
    *
          o Management of Compute Clouds
          o Management of Storage Clouds
          o Use of Virtualization for Management
    * Key management issues
    *
          o Infrastructure for management
          o Managing IaaS infrastructure
          o Use and extension of management standards
          o System management techniques
          o Network, Server, and Desktop management
          o Information models for management
          o Instrumentation and metrics for management
          o Diagnostics and Fault management
          o Management Behavior and State modeling
    * Web services and SOA
    *
          o Managing SaaS infrastructure
          o Web services based management
          o Development and use of management protocols
          o Use of SOA in management of distributed systems
    * New management paradigms
    *
          o Management automation
          o Policy-based management
    * Experience implementing and deploying management technology

        Submission

Authors are requested to submit either long or short papers via the 
conference submission </svm09/submission/>
website (http://www.dmtf.org/svm09/submission/): </svm09/submission/>

    * Long papers presenting research results (up to 12 single-spaced
      single-column pages)
    * Short papers describing research work-in-progress or position
      statements (up to 6 pages)

        Publication

Submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by the technical program 
committee members and the reviewers they invite. After the notification 
the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular 
typesetting format to prepare their papers for publication. Accepted 
papers will be published in Springer proceedings.
