All of them have contributed to the improvement of virtualization technologies leading to more complex and larger scale systems. However, limiting the scope of Distributed Computing to Cloud platforms is not enough. For the VTDC Steering Committee, Distributed Computing is larger than just Cloud platforms and the VTDC workshop should continue to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of different virtualization technologies in distributed computing, including the management of HPC, Data-Intensive or web hosting platforms as well as concerns dealing with the virtualization of network and storage facilities.<br><br>VTDC'13 will be held in New York City, in conjunction with the 22th edition of HPDC (the International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing)<br><br>Workshop scope<br><br>Although the convergence of virtualization technologies and distributed computing has been leading to exciting developments for almost ten years now, the use of virtual environments is still far from reaching the maturity of more usual computing facilities such as clusters or grids. Current solutions for operating virtual infrastructures are rather "simple" management systems focusing on the contextualization of the virtual machines, their deployments as well as their monitoring. The design and the implementation of advanced mechanisms in charge of addressing particular concerns such as scalability, reliability, and reactivity are either missing or not yet integrated in these systems<br><br>Building on previous successful as well as highly attended VTDC workshops, this 7th edition will particularly consider innovative work addressing the aforementioned concerns with the ultimate goal of delivering more advanced and integrated systems. Such systems might be seen as mixes between IaaS and PaaS toolkits, enabling end-users to run large-scale applications such as the HPC/HTC ones<br><br>More precisely, topics of interest include:<br><br><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Virtualization for resource management and QoS assurance of distributed computing platforms<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Security aspects of using virtualization in a distributed environment<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Virtual networks<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Virtual data, storage as a service<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Fault tolerance in virtualized environments<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Virtualization in P2P systems<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Virtualization in HPC systems<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Virtualization-based adaptive/autonomic systems<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> The creation and management of environments/appliances<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Performance modeling (applications and systems)<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Virtualization techniques for energy/thermal management<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Case studies of applications on virtualized platforms<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Deployment studies of virtualization technologies<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Tools relevant to virtualization<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Virtualization in data/computing centers<br></div>Submission<br><br>VTDC2013 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work.
