 --- VISA 2009:   The First ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure 
Systems and Architectures ---

           in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2009, August 17th 2009, Barcelona, 
Spain.

                         * FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS *

Infrastructure virtualization has emerged as an important architecture and 
experimentation concept for the Internet infrastructure. The global computing 
and communication infrastructure will encompass (as it does today) a diverse 
and huge collection of networking, computing and storage resources. Together 
they need to form a coherent infrastructure and meet our society’s requirements 
for the 21st century. Infrastructure virtualization involves creation of a 
virtual slice of network, computing and storage resources in support of a 
service, an application, or an experiment from a physical substrate of diverse 
resources. This allows users of a virtualized infrastructure slice to access 
resources on a potentially global scale without incurring the cost of building 
such an infrastructure. Thus infrastructure virtualization provides a platform 
to allow innovation on a global scale and enables new business models.

As we envision and research Future Internet, there is increasing recognition 
that Infrastructure Virtualization will play an important role. However, there 
are many technical problems to solve: how to discover and advertise the 
resources; how to create and manage an infrastructure slice across diverse 
resources; how does virtualization extend to the wireless edge; how to 
implement virtualization across diverse resources and across layers of protocol 
stack; how to map an application or service to run on an infrastructure slice; 
what applications and capabilities are enabled by infrastructure 
virtualization; what kind of cross-layer protocols are possible; how does 
infrastructure virtualization impact the business models of network operators; 
and others.

Many research groups in the US, Europe, Japan, and elsewhere 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 help build a research and user community to explore and help realize 
the potential of infrastructure virtualization.

                          * TOPICS OF INTEREST *

We solicit previously unpublished work on the following, non exhaustive, list 
of topics:

*       Infrastructure virtualization architecture;
*       Resource allocation to virtual slices;
*       Management tools for infrastructure virtualization;
*       Implementation and transition map for infrastructure virtualization;
*       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.


                           * EXTENDED DEADLINES *

Paper submission deadline:              Friday March 27, 2009
Acceptance notification:                Friday May 1, 2009
Camera ready final submission:          Friday May 29, 2009
Workshop:                               Monday August 17, 2009

                         * INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS *

Authors should submit pdf papers exclusively, to the EasyChair conference 
management system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=visa09.
Please follow the format of ACM Sigcomm 2009 submissions, except anonymity is 
not required and the page limit is eight pages. This workshop strongly 
encourages the submission of exploratory results that point to new directions 
and challenges in the design and management of a virtualized infrastructure.

Please contact [email protected] for any inquiry regarding the workshop.
