Call for Papers


Virtualization technologies constitute a key enab= ling factor for flexible resource management

in modern data centers, and particularly i= n cloud environments. Cloud providers need to

manage complex infrastructures in a seaml= ess fashion to support the highly dynamic and

heterogeneous workloads and hosted applic= ations customers deploy. Similarly, HPC

environments have been increasingly adopting te= chniques that enable flexible management of

vast computing and networking resources, c= lose to marginal provisioning cost, which is

unprecedented in the history of scientific= and commercial computing.


Various virtualization technologies contribute to the ov= erall picture in different ways: machine

virtualization, with its capability to enable = consolidation of multiple under=C2=ADutilized servers with

heterogeneous software and o= perating systems (OSes), and its capability to live=C2=AD-migrate a<= /p>

fully operating vir= tual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic

ways to manage = physical servers; OS-=C2=ADlevel virtualization (i.e., containerization), w= ith its

capa= bility to isolate multiple user=C2=AD-space environments and to allow for t= heir co=C2=ADexistence within

the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advan= tages of machine virtualization

with high levels of responsiveness and performance; I/O= Virtualization allows physical

NICs/HBAs to take traffic from multiple VMs or containe= rs; network virtualization, with its

capability to create logical network overlays that= are independent of the underlying physical

topology and IP addressing, provides the f= undamental ground on top of which evolved

network services can be realized with an unpr= ecedented level of dynamicity and flexibility; the

increasingly adopted paradigm of Sof= tware-=C2=ADDefined Networking (SDN) =C2=A0promises to extend

this flexibility to the c= ontrol and data planes of network paths.


Publication

Accepted papers will = be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume.
