(Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email.) EVGM 2007 (Deadline extended to June 18th 2007) ======= 1st IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on End-to-end Virtualization and Grid Management ===================================================== San Jose, California, USA - held as part of Manweek 2007 =================================== Virtualization allows layer n (upper layer) to function independently and effectively without being intrinsically tied to layer n-1 (lower layer). In OS virtualization, guest operating systems are isolated from physical computational resources. In server virtualization, application servers are isolated from physical server resources. In network virtualization, network services or applications are isolated from physical network resources. One of the major features of Grids is the sharing of heterogeneous resources, which can be facilitated by various levels of virtualization. In other words, Grids should provide holistic or end-to-end virtualization. It is obvious that proper resource management is key to providing effective virtualization. However, resource management for virtualization is a challenge (as opposed to typical resource management) in that there is no trivial way of virtualizing resources and presenting virtualized resources to the upper layers. It is even a bigger challenge when end-to-end (E2E) virtualization is considered, for example, when OS and server virtualization interplay with storage and network virtualization for providing an effective E2E virtualized environment. This workshop will offer a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and experiences on problems, challenges, solutions and potential future research, as well as development issues, in this new field of E2E Virtualization and Grid Management. In addition to paper presentations, the workshop provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate through panels and group work. The authors are encouraged to submit original papers on topics related to the concepts described above, including, but not limited to: # OS resource management for virtualization (OS Virtualization) # Server resource management for virtualization (Server Virtualization) # Application resource management for virtualization (Application Virtualization) # Storage resource management for virtualization (Storage Virtualization) # Network resource management for virtualization (Network Virtualization) # Network Management resource management for virtualization (NM Virtualization) # Heterogeneous Grid VO resource management for virtualization (Grid Virtualization) # Interplay of various virtualization layers # Virtual resource scheduling # Virtual resource discovery # Virtual resource monitoring # Virtualization in clusters and high-performance computing environments # Virtualization for ERP, CRM, Healthcare, Financial applications SUBMISSION EVGM 2007 is using the JEMS Conference Management System to manage paper submission process. In order to submit, you must first create an JEMS account. JEMS system will e-mail you your password. You need to login to JEMS using the password you have received by email. JEMS will provide you with submission homepage where you can register your paper submission and make appropriate changes. Authors are requested to submit either long or short papers, strictly in LNCS format: - Long papers (up to 10 single-spaced single-column pages) - Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 4 pages) Submissions exceeding the above mentioned page limits will not be reviewed. Papers must be submitted electronically through the JEMS conference management system at https://jems.sbc.org.br/evgm2007 (only PDF files are permitted).

07 Jun '07

(Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email.) 7th IEEE International Workshop on IP Operations and Management (IPOM 2007) (part of MANWEEK 2007) October 31 - November 2, 2007, San Jose, California http://magellan.tssg.org/2007/ipom/ipom.php CALL FOR PAPERS *Extended Deadline - June 11th 2007* The IPOM 2007 is the seventh in a series of dedicated events to Operations and Management in IP-based networks. Building on the success of the previous events, IPOM 2007 focuses on network management challenges for the current Internet as well as Future Internet Design (FIND). We are particularly interested in pressing network management issues related to virtualization, mobility, service provision, security, multimedia, and P2P applications. The overall theme of ManWeek 2007 is management for virtualization. PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to IPOM 2007. Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to IPOM 2007. Authors are requested to submit either long papers or short papers (work-in-progress reports): # Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages, including figures, tables, references and annexes) # Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 4 pages, including figures, tables, references and annexes ) Submissions exceeding the above mentioned paper size will not be reviewed and returned to the authors. Papers must be submitted electronically through the JEMS conference management system. (only PDF files are permitted). Topics of interest include but are not limited to: # Autonomic Network Management # Managing and Troubleshooting Network Mobility # Traffic Modeling, Measurement, Analysis, Engineering, and Visualization for IP Networks # Managing Virtualization and Managing via Virtualization # Management Issues related to GENI and FIND # Large-Scale Internet-based Attack Defense via Management # Botnet Management or Being Managed by Botnet # Management Issues for Intra-/Inter-Domain Routing # Self-Configuration, Self-Healing, and Self-Management # IPOM Interoperability # Management of Sensor and Ad-Hoc Networks # Grid Networking Management # IP services and network Provisioning & Restoration # Charging and Accounting for IP Services # Overlay Networks: Design, Operations & Management # IP Multimedia Subsystems: O & M PROCEEDINGS The IPOM 2007 proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For more information regarding manuscript format please visit the author's instruction links at LNCS Springer. IMPORTANT DEADLINES # Submission:June 11th 2007 # Notification: July 7th 2007 # Camera ready: August 2nd 2007 # Workshop: October 31 - November 2, 2007 The best papers of IPOM will also get a chance to be published as an extended version in a special edition of the IEEE eTransactions on Network and Service Management - eTNSM.
