Hello everybody,
I thought some of you may be interested in this.

IEEE Internet Computing is soliciting papers for a special issue on
Virtualization.
Final submissions due: 1 July 2012
Publication date: March/April 2013
Please email the guest editors a brief description of the article you
plan to submit by 15 June 2012.
One of the most famous adages in computer science is that “any problem
in computer science can be solved by an extra level of indirection.”
Increasingly, that level of indirection takes the form of
virtualization, where a resource’s consumers are provided with a virtual
rather than physical version of that resource. This layer of indirection
has helped address a multitude of problems, including efficiency,
security, high availability, elasticity, fault containment, mobility,
and scalability.
In the past several years virtualization has gone mainstream, and more
and more resources are virtualizable. Although virtual machines are the
most obvious example, others include desktop sharing (VNC), virtual
networks, virtual storage, and many more. All these have an enormous
impact on Internet computing. A key recent use of virtualization is to
enable infrastructure-as-a-service clouds. Virtualization lets producers
efficiently support many tenants while strongly isolating them from each
other, and consumers to be isolated from the specifics of providers’
physical capacity, allowing, for example, virtual machines to move
between different computers and even clouds. This special issue seeks
articles from both industry and academia that discuss the application
and development of virtualization in the Internet computing space.
Topics include
cloud computing;
virtual networks;
storage-area networks;
remote desktops;
security;
performance (in a network context); and
migration of virtual environments.
Editors' note: We encourage submissions from both academic and
industrial practitioners, especially as they pertain to open source
tools or products, but content must have technical merit, not be an
advertisement.
Questions?
Contact Guest Editors Fred Douglis and Orran Krieger ([email protected])
All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than 5,000 words,
focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All manuscripts
are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to IC’s
international readership—primarily system and software design engineers.
We do not accept white papers, and we discourage strictly theoretical or
mathematical papers. To submit a manuscript, please log on to ScholarOne
(https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:443/ic-cs) to create or access an
account, which you can use to log on to IC’s Author Center and upload
your submission.
