=======================================================================

        2nd International DMTF Workshop on Systems and
                 Virtualization Management:
            Standards and New Technology SVM 2008
                  http://www.dmtf.org/svm08
                    21-22 October 2008
               Leibniz Supercomputing Centre,
                     Munich, Germany

The primary theme of SVM 2008 will be "Systems and Virtualization
Management: Standards and New Technology". Systems management has
recently seen growing interest in virtualization technology and the
need to manage the virtualization of server, storage and network
resources.

The goal of SVM 2008 is to illuminate related standards and research
issues, covering areas such as: what are the implications of
virtualization on distributed systems management, what advances in
information models and protocols aid in managing virtualization, what
new problems will we incur when managing virtualized systems and
services, and how management itself might benefit from virtualization.
Submissions on topics related to managing distributed systems,
virtualization of distributed resources/services, and work in
management standardization are thus particularly encouraged.

===============

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   * Virtualization
       - Management of Virtualized Resources

Submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by the technical program
committee members and the reviewers they invite.

After the notification the authors of accepted papers will be asked to
follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for
publication.

All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by
Springer.
