PDP 2011 - The 19th Euromicro International Conference on
Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing.
Special
Session on
"Virtualization in Distributed Systems"
Paper submission deadline: August 26th, 2010
Virtualization technologies in
the distributed systems community are raising significant interest. The
widespread deployment and the native support for hardware-assisted
virtualization in the AMD and Intel processors available in today's desktops
and computer clusters enable research challenges to be solved more efficiently.
Virtualization technologies include virtual machines, virtual networks, virtual
data, virtual storage, virtual applications, and virtual instruments.
Distributed computing includes Grid computing, cluster computing, peer-to-peer
computing and mobile computing.
The special session on
Virtualization in Distributed Systems is intended to be a forum for the
exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of virtualization technologies for
distributed systems, the challenges and opportunities offered by the
development of virtualization solutions themselves, as well as case studies in
the applications of virtualization in distributed systems and in particular in
Grid computing. The general venue will be a good occasion to share, to learn,
and to discuss the latest results in this field of research.
The workshop program
will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers. The topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
- virtualization solutions for distributed systems
- virtualized computer clusters
- virtualization and Desktop grids, Grid computing
environments and Cloud infrastructure
- performance and evaluation of virtualization in
distributed systems
- virtualization enabled hardware
- applications of virtualization technologies in
Grid computing, Desktop Grids and Cloud Computing
- high-speed interconnect and virtualized I/O for
virtualization solutions
- virtualized I/O and storage
- GPU virtualisation
Important dates
- Papers due: August 26th, 2010
- Acceptance notification: October 4th, 2010
- Camera-ready versions: October 29th, 2010

Submission guidelines
Prospective authors should submit
a full paper not exceeding 5000 words in length and including a 150-200 word
abstract. To facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of the
paper should contain only the title and abstract. Proceedings will be published
by Conference Publishing Services (CPS). Authors of accepted papers are
expected to register and present the paper at the Conference.
Papers submitted for the
workshops or special sessions must be submitted through the conference
submission system with an indication of the name of the workshop/special
session. Papers must adhere to the formatting rules of the conference and will
undergo the same review process as other papers submitted to the conference.
Paper submission will be open one
month before the actual submission deadline. Submissions will be handled
through www.easychair.org. Submission instructions will be hosted on this page.
