VPACT 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS

Third International Workshop on
Virtualization Performance: Analysis, Characterization and Tools

March 28, 2010
White Plains, New York
(co-located with IEEE ISPASS 2010)

The International Workshop on Virtualization Performance: Analysis,
Characterization and Tools (VPACT) is a selective venue for reporting
and discussing new initial results in the measurement,
characterization, analysis, and modeling of the performance of
virtualized computer systems, including the tools to support such
work. VPACT is interested in results at all scales, including
multicore/manycore processors, mobile devices, desktops, servers, data
centers, clusters, parallel supercomputers, and distributed
virtualized computing environments.

VPACT 2010 seeks papers from researchers and practitioners in both
academia and industry. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to the following, in the context of virtualized computer
systems:

- Performance measurement, characterization, analysis, and modeling
- Power measurement characterization, analysis, and modeling
- Workload measurement characterization, analysis, and modeling
- Benchmarks and benchmarking
- Evaluation of hardware virtualization features
- Evaluation of virtualization software (VMMs, etc)
- Evaluation of virtualization services (Clouds, etc)
- Evaluation of scalability in virtualized environments
- Evaluation of innovative uses of virtualization
- Interaction of virtualization and multicore/manycore architectures
- Interaction of virtualization and parallel computing
- Interaction of language and OS virtual machines
- Tools and techniques

Papers should be no more than 10 pages in length, should be
formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings style
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates), and must
be in PDF format. Reviewing is single-blind. Submission instructions
are available on the workshop web site, http://vpact.org.
