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 queuing. Utilizing the same infrastructure, clouds carry significant potential for use in high-performance scientific computing. The ability of clouds to provide for requests and releases of vast computing resource dynamically and close to the marginal cost of providing the services is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing.

Also, many of the scientific datacenters have not adopted virtualization or cloud concepts yet. This workshop aims to bring together industrial providers with the scientific community in order to foster discussion, collaboration and mutual exchange of knowledge and experience.

Scope:

Virtualization has become a common abs= traction layer in modern data
centers, enabling resource owners t= o manage complex infrastructure
independently of their applicatio= ns. 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 queuing. Utilizing the same infrastructure,=
clouds carry significant potential for use in high-performance
scientific computing. The ability of clouds to provide for
requests and releases of vast computing resource dynamically and
=
close to the marginal cost of providing the services is unprecedented<= /div>

Distributed computing concepts that leverage federated resou= rce access
are popular within the grid community, but have not se= en previously
desired deployed levels so far. Also, many of the s= cientific
datacenters have not adopted virtualization or cloud concepts yet.

This workshop aims to bring together industrial provi= ders with the
scientific 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.
Prese= ntations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations. It
concludes with a 30 min panel discussion by presenters.
