[Xen-devel] CFP: Virtualization Workshop at SYSTOR 2007



[we apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement]

The Storage and Systems Department at IBM's Haifa Research Lab (HRL),
in collaboration with the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology,
cordially invite you to a full-day workshop on the subject of
virtualization within the SYSTOR 2007 conference. SYSTOR 2007 is the
first high-quality refereed systems and storage conference organized
by HRL, drawing upon the successful foundation of previous systems and
storage seminars. The purpose of this conference is to forge and
nourish research and working relations within the academic and
industrial community in Israel and in the world, targeting researchers
and practitioners alike.

The virtualization workshop in SYSTOR 2007 will present contemporary
advancements in the field of systems virtualization and will feature
two renowned keynote speakers: Danny Dolev from the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem, Israel, and Willy Zwaenepoel from Lausanne Federal
Institute of Technology (EPFL), Switzerland.

SYSTOR 2007 will be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 29-30, 2007,
at the HRL site at the Haifa University campus from 09:15 to
17:15. The virtualization workshop will take place on the first day
followed by the Storage: Market Trends and Future R&D seminar for
practitioners on the second day.

Lunch and refreshments will be served on both days. Participation is
free.

Topics
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  * Virtualization techniques: native, emulation, paravirtualization,
    OS-level and application-level
  * Programming language support for virtualization
  * Hardware virtualization support: machine, IO, networking, storage
  * Virtual machine support for parallel and distributed computing models
  * Applications of virtualization: deployment, security, correctness,
    and reliability
  * Virtual-machine scheduling and resource allocation
  * Image management: storage, semantics, cloning and configuration
  * Processor and architecture simulators
  * Experiences with implementing virtualization

Submission

SYSTOR's virtualization workshop accepts only original work by the
respective authors. Authors may submit their work either as an
extended abstract (up to 2 pages) or as a full paper (up to 14
pages). Submissions should be in 11 pt font, in .pdf
format. Submissions will be evaluated, after which notifications will
be sent to the authors. All accepted works will be presented in a
single track. No workshop proceedings will be published, but selected
full papers will be published in a special issue of ACM Operating
Systems Review. Extended abstracts will not be published. Work
presented at SYSTOR may have been published elsewhere; in case of such
an overlap, authors should add a reference to the additional
publication to their submission.
