In our fifth year of SMTPS, we would like to invite the pioneers in
computing resource management and discuss the latest ideas, with a
special focus on "cloud computing". With advent of virtualization
technologies, efficient and effective systems management plays an even
more critical role to deal with the ever-increasing computing
resources and their connectivity and complexity. The cloud computing
paradigm has been introduced to better respond to dynamic computation
demand by emerging applications and workload, and to better utilize
computing resources and energy in aggregation to serve a large group
of users.
Many issues in systems management within a traditional computing
environment remain challenging for cloud computing. For instance,
system administrators for both traditional and cloud systems are
required to provide satisfactory and continuous services to
applications even in the presence of interrupts and system failures.
On the other hand, there are new challenges and opportunities posed by
cloud computing, which call for different solutions Management of
computing infrastructure, platform and software are redefined to be
part of online service offerings, commonly termed as "infrastructure
as a Service" and "software as a service". Management of future
datacenters with tens of thousands of severs, a wide variety of
middleware, and emerging web portals brings in new challenges for
tomorrow's system administrators and architects.
This workshop is intended to bring together researchers and
practitioners to define and discuss the issues and challenges and
share early findings in systems management in the emerging cloud
computing paradigm. Topics of interest include, and are not limited
to:
Topics of interest include, and are not limited to:
¨ Scalable resource management solutions
¨ Cloud resource provisioning with QoS
¨ High availability with failure detection, prediction, and recovery
¨ Identity, metering, and privacy in Cloud
¨ Management of virtualized resources
¨ Workload and resource scheduling
¨ Network delivery of IT services
¨ Cloud over wireless
Results of both theoretical and practical significance will be
considered including other related interesting topics in their
infancy.
