  6th International DMTF Workshop on Systems and
          Virtualization Management:
       Standards and the Cloud SVM 2012

             October 2012
  Conference on Network and Service Management
               Las Vegas, Nevada USA


Call for Papers and Call for Posters


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.


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.

Papers submitted to SVM'12 must not have been published, accepted for 
publication, or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    Virtualization
           Management of Compute Clouds
           Management of Storage Clouds
           Use of Virtualization for Management
