Topics

Any topics related to virtualization will be entertained. Following are

some examples of topic areas of particular interest: 

Virtualization Technology:

Review and/or provide deep insight into the fundamentals of specific

virtualization technologies. Exploration of project development

opportunities. Discussion of ideas to improve the technologies.

Layered Tool Opportunities and Projects:

Research and/or project execution in areas such as local and datacenter

virtual machine management, workload management, security, quality of

service and other cool ideas.

Virtualization Case Studies:

Description of the deployed environment; what has gone well; what went

wrong; acceptance of using virtualized servers; flunking or besting

deployment goals; novel uses of virtualization and other nifty benefits

that came up along the way. 

Presentations

There will be two types of presentations:

* Full Presentations: These presentations will consume an entire 40

minute time slot. It is suggested that the presentation be planned for

25-30 minutes which will allow for a 10-15 minute period of discussions

with the audience.

* Lightning Talks: These talks will be scheduled for 10 to 15

minutes. 

The mix of full presentations and lightning talks will be determined as

a result of evaluation of submissions 

Please note that the accepted abstracts will be posted on the LCA

Virtualization Miniconf website. It is also intended that final

presentation materials for each of the talks will be collected and

posted to this website at the conclusion of the miniconf.
