This new paradigm raises challenges ranging from performance = evaluation of IaaS platforms, through new methods of resource management = including providing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and energy- and = cost-efficient schedules, to the emergence of supporting technologies = such as virtual appliance management. For the last three years, the VTDC workshop has served as a forum for = the exchange of ideas and experiences studying the challenges and = opportunities created by IaaS/cloud computing and virtualization = technologies. VTDC brings together researchers in academia and industry = who are involved in research and development on resource virtualization = technologies and on techniques applied to the management of virtualized = environments in distributed systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: VTDC 2010 topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) * Virtualization in data centers * Virtualization for resource management and QoS assurance * Security aspects of using virtualization in a distributed environment * Virtual networks * Virtual data, storage as a service * Fault tolerance in virtualized environments * Virtualization in P2P systems * Virtualization-based adaptive/autonomic systems * The creation and management of environments/appliances * Virtualization technologies * Performance modeling (applications and systems) * Virtualization techniques for energy/thermal management * Case studies of applications on IaaS platforms * Deployment studies of virtualization technologies * Tools relevant to virtualization SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submitted papers should be limited to 8 pages (including tables, images, = and references) and should be formatted according to the ACM SIGS Style. = Please use the official HPDC conference submission site to submit your = paper; only pdf format is accepted. All papers will receive at least = three reviews. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to = register or the workshop and present the paper. The authors of the best paper in = the workshop will receive a best-paper award. PROCEEDINGS The proceedings of the workshop will be published by the ACM. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March 1, 2010 (11:59 PM EST) Author notification: March 26, 2010 Final papers due: April 14, 2010 Workshop: June 22, 2010 SUBMISSION SITE Official HPDC conference submission site, https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/hpdc/ WORKSHOP WEBSITE http://www.grid-appliance.org/wiki/index.php/VTDC10 WORKSHOP CHAIRS General Chair: Renato Figueiredo, University of Florida Program Chair: Frederic Desprez, INRIA Steering Committee: Jose A.
