2nd Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures, New Delhi, 3 September 2010

in Conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM’10

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 We solicit previously unpublished work on the following, non exhaustive, list of topics: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