    3rd International DMTF Workshop on Systems and
            Virtualization Management:
         Standards and the Cloud SVM 2009
            http://www.dmtf.org/svm09
               22-23 September 2009
    Huazhong University of Science and Technology,
                  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
 - Management of Compute Clouds
 - Management of Storage Clouds
 - Use of Virtualization for Management
* Key management issues
 - Infrastructure for management
 - Managing IaaS infrastructure
 - Use and extension of management standards
 - System management techniques
 - Network, Server, and Desktop management
 - Information models for management
 - Instrumentation and metrics for management
 - Diagnostics and Fault management
 - Management Behavior and State modeling
* Web services and SOA
 - Managing SaaS infrastructure
 - Web services based management
 - Development and use of management protocols
 - Use of SOA in management of distributed systems
* New management paradigms
 - Management automation
 - Policy-based management
* Experience implementing and deploying management technology
