PDP 2010 - The 18th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing.
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:
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.
