FYI. Begin forwarded message: From: Gabor Kecskemeti <gkecskem(a)dps.uibk.ac.at<mailto:gkecskem@dps.uibk.ac.at>> Date: August 20, 2013, 2:44:40 AM CDT To: <distributed-computing-announce(a)datasys.cs.iit.edu<mailto:distributed-computing-announce@datasys.cs.iit.edu>> Subject: [DistComp] Last call for papers: Cloud computing on Infrastructure as a Service and its Applications special session of the 22nd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, distributed and, network-based Processing The second international special session on Cloud computing on Infrastructure as a Service and its Applications of the 22nd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, distributed and network-based Processing to be held between February 12-14 2014 in Turin, Italy Call for papers 1. Special session theme: ========================= Cloud Computing covers a broad range of distributed computing principles from infrastructure (e.g distributed storage, reconfigurable networks) to new programming platforms (e.g MS Azure, Google Appe Engine), and internet based applications. Particularly, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud systems - such as Amazon EC2, Rackspace or Google Compute Engine - allow the dynamic creation, destruction and management of virtual machines (VMs) on virtualized clusters. IaaS Clouds provide a high-level of abstraction to the end user, one that allows the creation of on-demand services through a pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. This special session on Cloud Computing is intended to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of Cloud Computing technologies and applications with compute and data intensive workloads. The special session also aims at presenting the challenges and opportunities offered by the development of academic Cloud Computing solutions - such as OpenNebula, OpenStack or Eucalyptus - themselves, as well as case studies in applications of Cloud Computing. The general venue will be a good occasion to share, learn, and discuss the latest results in this field of research. The special session program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers. 2. Scope – examples of topics of interest: ========================================== - Virtualization technologies in scope of IaaS solutions - Incorporating beyond-CPU virtualization (e.g. I/O, GPU) aspects to cloud infrastructures - Virt. Machine scheduling & management algorithms - Operational challenges in private, hybrid and public IaaS systems - Cost and pricing models in virtualized infrastructures - Enterprise level infrastructure clouds - Solutions that meet demands of HPC clouds - Federative aspects of hybrid ( private-public) clouds - Novel IaaS architectures, platforms and applications - Virtual Appliance storage management (e.g. caching, repositories, marketplaces) - Virtual Machine migration techniques - Big Data and Infrastructure clouds - Security & Privacy for data management in Clouds - Cloud Computing for scientific applications - Performance evaluation, modelling and prediction - Programming models and tools - Clouds for compute/data intensive applications - Workflows on the Cloud - Cloud Computing resource management - Cloud Computing deployment models - Interoperhttp://www.pdp2014.org/specialsessions/cloudability solutions for multi-Clouds - Cloud storage and I/O 3. Submission guidelines: ========================= Authors are required to submit original, unpublished research or overviews closely related to the above mentioned topics related to Infrastructure as a Service systems. Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages (including a 150-200 word abstract) in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double- column, 10pt). To facilitate an anonymous reviewing process the conference applies a double-bind review procedure. Thus the first page of the submission should contain only the title and abstract (no author information should be present); in the reference list, references to the authors’ own work should appear as "omitted for blind review" entries. Papers must adhere to the formatting rules of the conference and will undergo the same review process as other papers submitted to the conference. Papers submitted for the special session must be submitted through the conference submission system with an indication of the name of the special session: Submit here: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2014 Proceedings will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) in the same volume of the main track. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will be indexed, among others, by IEEE explore, DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge. 4. Important dates: =================== Deadline for paper submission: July 31, 2013 extended to August 26, 2013 Author notification: October 7, 2013 Camera ready paper due: October 31, 2013 Conference: February 12-14, 2014 5. Special session chairs: ========================== Chair: Gabor Kecskemeti Co-chairs: Thierry Delaitre, Attila Kertesz 6. Program committee: ===================== Eugen Feller, Francesc Guim, Eduardo Huedo, Attila Marosi, Ariel Oleksiak, Ivan Rodero, Gabor Terstyanszky, Massimo Villari, Yi Wei 7.

OCCI support for contextualization
by Enol Fernández del Castillo 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Dear all, I'm Enol Fernandez from EGI's FedCloud working in the task for contextualization of virtual machines. I know you already have done some preliminary work on contextualization so I would like to let you know what are up to now our findings: We have identified as a requirement to contextualize images the possibility of passing user provided data to the VM when they are instantiated. Hence there are two things to be defined: - how to pass data upon VM creation - how to retrieve those data from the running VM For passing the data we propose the use of a new mixin that has an attribute to hold the data to pass to the image. We have a working modification of the OCCI-OS implementation that uses such mixin [1]. In this case we have defined a mixin: Category: user_data; scheme="http://schemas.openstack.org/compute/instance#"; class="mixin" and org.openstack.compute.user_data as attribute (base64 encoded), that uses the user_data field of the OpenStack API [2]. We think a similar mixin could be added to OCCI to allow interoperability between resource providers. The second part, related to retrieving the data, is more dependent of the back-end implementation. We have identified 3 different methods in the systems in place in FedCloud: - a metadata server (a la EC2), that located in a known URI servers the user-data - attach of an iso image to the VM that can be mounted - injection of a file with the user-data I think all of those methods should be allowed and the VM once created should try them in order (the least invasive seems the metadata server, in our tests the file injection may fail with some VM images) We think that the exact type and format of the data is not relevant. There could be specialized mixins to indicate explicitly that the data conforms to a executable script or to Cloud-init [3], but free-format data should also be allowed (for example at IFCA we have developed a system to contextualize just passing a JSON dictionary [4]) Best regards, Enol Fernandez [1] https://github.com/enolfc/occi-os/tree/occi_user_data [2] http://api.openstack.org/api-ref.html#compute [3] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit [4] https://github.com/enolfc/feynapps

Presentation
by Jean Parpaillon 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Dear all, I am Jean Parpaillon. I am really interested in the OCCI I use through CompatibleOne project [0]. I have been extensively using SNMP by the past for managing heterogeneous systems and I consider OCCI to be a good candidate for a simple and universal standard for cloud systems. In the CompatibleOne project, we have been extended OCCI models for various APIs, including SLA management, monitoring, etc and now trying to address PaaS. We also working on generating OCCI servers automatically from formalized models (in XML). We are very interested in sharing our ideas and see how they could improve the OCCI ecosystem. A first step would be to participate in the bi-weekly call. Could you tell when will the next one will take place ? Talk to you soon, [0] http://compatibleone.org/ -- Jean Parpaillon Open Source Consultant Phone: +33 6 30 10 92 86 im: jean.parpaillon(a)gmail.com skype: jean.parpaillon linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanparpaillon/en
