Call for Papers:
International Workshop on Cross-Stratum Optimization for Cloud
Computing and Distributed Networked Applications,
July 10-13, 2012, Leganés, Madrid, Spain (one full day will be
designed for this workshop shortly)
(co-located with the 10th IEEE International Symposium on Parallel
and Distributed Processing with Applications, ISPA 2012)
Aims and Scope
The current lack of interaction between networked applications and the
underlying network during service provisioning cause inefficiencies on
the use of network resources which can negatively impact the quality
expectations of the final consumers of those applications.
Typical networked applications are offered through Information
Technology (IT) resources (as computing and storage facilities)
residing in data centers. Data centers then provide the physical and
virtual infrastructure in which applications and services are
provided. Since the data centers are usually distributed
geographically around a network, many decisions made in the control
and management of application services, such as where to instantiate
another service instance, or which data center out of several is
assigned to a new customer, can have a significant impact on the state
of the network. In the same way, the capabilities and state of the
network can have a major impact on application performance.
Cross-stratum optimization (CSO) is referred to the combined
optimization of both the application and the network components that
aims to provide joint resource optimization, responsiveness to quickly
changing demands from/to application to/from network, enhanced service
resilience using cooperative recovery techniques, and quality of
experience assurance by a better use of existing network and
application resources, among others.
The CSO involves the overall optimization of application layer and
network resources by envisioning next generation architecture for
interactions and exchanges between the two layers to improve service
continuity, performance guarantees, scalability and manageability. The
goal of this workshop is to promote the research interest on the
optimal integration of application and network resources.
This workshop aims to explore the challenges and issues faced by cloud
computing and data center integration with networks. Among the key
areas of investigation to be discussed in the workshop are as
follows:
· Application/network integration architectures and subsystems
· Use cases, business models and requirements for application/
network integration
· Control/management issues for application/network
integration
· Network virtualization and its impact for application/
network integration
· Network-aware application/cloud computing
· Flexible and scalable networking solutions for distributed
Data Centers
· Joint application/network reliability and security
· Experimental/trial experience
· Scalability
· Joint/shared performance and fault monitoring
· Multi-domain issues
