VISA 2010 Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures

VISA 2010 
2nd Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures 
In Conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM'10 
New Delhi, Aug-Sept 2010

Many research groups worldwide are pursuing different aspects of
infrastructure virtualization; various international funding agencies are
actively supporting research in this area; and many providers and vendors
are very interested in exploring how this concept and associated
technologies would help solve their business problems and create new growth
opportunities. The goal of the workshop is to feature recent research and
developments related to infrastructure virtualization; to allow exchange of
ideas; and to help build a research and user community to explore and help
realize the potential of infrastructure virtualization.
 
We encourage the submission of position papers and of works which encompass
the whole infrastructure virtualization (network and storage and computing
resources). We solicit previously unpublished work on the following, non
exhaustive, list of topics: 

*	Infrastructure virtualization architecture; 
*	Resource allocation to virtual slices;    
*	Impact of infrastructure virtualization on the data center; 
*	Management tools for infrastructure virtualization; 
*	How can infrastructure virtualization enable or support cloud
computing; 
*	Isolation and slice independence in a virtualized infrastructure; 
*	Integration of the wireless edge into a virtualized network; 
*	Inter-operability and federation of virtualized infrastructures; 
*	Cross-layer protocols for virtualized networks; 
*	Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure; and

*	Security issues with virtualized infrastructure.
