Workshop on End-to-End Virtualization and Grid Management (formerly known as AGNM) (Oct 29-30) Manweek also features a number of keynote speeches, a welcome reception, a social event at the San Jose Tech Museum of Innovation, and a social event at nearby Santa Clara Mission Gardens. Collocating those events allows for five days of intensive exchange of ideas between research communities and topics that are distinct but interrelated, allowing participants to forge links and exploit synergies with researchers of adjacent areas of interest. The general theme of Manweek 2007 is End-to-end Virtualization of Networks and Services, a topic that captures the imagination of industry and researchers alike. Each of the workshops, organized by their own technical program committees, supports this general theme. Please visit the conference Website, http://www.manweek.org/2007/, for details on the program.
