    Conference on Network and Service Management
                 Paris, France

Call for papers
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.

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.

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

Submission
==========

Authors are requested to submit either long or short papers via the conference submission website (http://www.dmtf.org/svm11/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.

All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by IEEE.
