Recent efforts in the network and system computing community have been to create systems that are goal-driven, that use resources optimally and transparently to the clients, are uniformly manageable irrespective of the inherent heterogeneity and are autonomic. On the other hand, in the academic research community and grid computing community, many networked computing infrastructures, such as Emulab and Planetlab, have been built and shared among research scientists to run various types of research experiments. Utility Computing (UC) is a paradigm that enables distributed resources (network, systems, applications, services) being provided to users on-demand and in a uniform manner. A utility infrastructure thus has to be dynamic, virtualized, secure and automated, in nature and operate on a wide range of resources. While the UC paradigm itself will very likely enable many exciting distributed applications over the Internet in the near future, technologies related to the management of networks, computing systems, and resources under utility computing systems must be carefully studied and examined. Therefore, this year's DSOM workshop will focus on infrastructure, techniques and methods that can be used to enable the paradigm of utility computing.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
· Management Architectures · Automation for enabling self-management, self-configuration, and policy-based management · Management Information Models · Use of service-oriented architectures (web services, grid services) for management · Provisioning/Maintaining the Performance and QoS Management · SLA and business-objective driven management · Security, Privacy, and Isolation · Fault Management and Fault Tolerance · Monitoring, event and fault handling · Closed-loop management · Configuration, Accounting, Billing · Experience with distributed Management of Systems, Applications, Networks · Inter-domain management · Adaptive Services and Applications · Transaction Monitoring and Management · Integration with Standardized frameworks, management APIs and models (CIM/WBEM, OSI/TMN, CORBA, SNMP, JMX etc) · Implementation, Instrumentation, and Experience
