General Information

The convergence of virtualization technologies and distributed
computing is an exciting development and the subject of much
research in both academia and industry. The VTDC workshop is
intended to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences
on the use of virtualization technologies in distributed
computing, the challenges and opportunities offered by the
development of virtual systems themselves, as well as case studies
of application of virtualization. The scope of "virtualization
technologies" includes techniques and concepts to enable virtual
machines, virtual networks, virtual data, virtual storage, virtual
applications and virtual instruments. The scope of "distributed
computing" includes Grid-computing, cluster computing,
peer-to-peer computing and mobile computing.

VTDC 2007 topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Using virtualization technologies for resource management and
   QoS assurance
- Security aspects of using virtualization in a distributed
   environment
- Virtual networks
- Virtual data and storage systems
- Fault tolerance in virtualization
- Virtualization in P2P
- Monitoring techniques in virtualization
- Virtualization-based adaptive/autonomic systems
- Virtual datacenters
- Virtual environment factories and services
- Environment configuration
- Virtual machine management
- Modeling (applications and systems)
- Case studies of applications using virtual technologies
- Deployment studies of virtualization technologies
- Tools relevant to virtualization - Virtualization as vehicle
   for outsourcing
