CALL FOR PAPERS

8th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC
'13)

as part of SC 13, Denver, Colorado | sponsored by ACM sighpc

=================================================================

Date: November 22, 2013

Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org

Paper Submission Deadline: September 23, 2013


CALL FOR PAPERS

Virtualization has become a common abstraction layer in modern data

centers, enabling resource owners to manage complex infrastructures

independently of their applications. Conjointly, virtualization is becoming

a driving technology for a manifold of industry grade IT services. The

cloud concept includes the notion of a separation between resource

owners and users, adding services such as hosted application

frameworks and queueing. Utilizing the same infrastructure, clouds

carry significant potential for use in cpu-intensive or data-intensive

computing. The ability of clouds to provide for requests and releases

of vast computing resources dynamically and close to the marginal

cost of providing the services is unprecedented in the history of

scientific and commercial computing.

This workshop aims to bring together industrial providers with the

application community in order to foster discussion, collaboration

and mutual exchange of knowledge and experience.

The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper

presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections. Lightning

talks are limited to 5 minutes. Presentations may be accompanied by

interactive demonstrations.

PAPER SUBMISSION-PUBLICATION

Papers submitted to the workshop will be reviewed by at least two

members of the program committee and external reviewers. Submissions

should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the

corresponding author, and must not exceed 8 pages, including tables

and figures at a main font size no smaller than 11 point. Submission

of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper

be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the

conference to present the work.

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference
Proceedings Series. The format must be according to the ACM SIG style.
Initial submissions are in PDF; authors of accepted papers will be
requested to provide source files.

LIGHTNING TALKS

Lightning Talks are non-paper track synoptical in nature that are strictly

limited to 5 minutes. They can be used to gain early feedback on ongoing

research, for demonstrations, to present research results, early research

ideas, perspectives and positions of interest to the community.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The workshop will be held as part of SC’13, Denver, Colorado.
