Next-generation services require very high availability, fast deployment, and complex and dynamic resource provisioning. Academia and industry is actively responding to these complex requirements. Much research is being done in the area of resource management and provisioning. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to share their latest findings and issues.

Scope: Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Fast and efficient provisioning algorithms and optimization
  • Innovation in dynamic provisioning, rapid deployment and resource management
  • Benchmarking and performance metrics to compare provisioning and resource management
  • Performance evaluation methodology and simulation of provisioning and resource management
  • Experience with provisioning and resource management policies on production systems
  • Dynamic resource discovery and scheduling
  • Co-allocation of resources on different machines
  • Workload characterization, classification, and modeling
  • Providing performance guarantees and QoS
  • Load balancing and resource migration

Submitted papers must be unpublished and should be typeset in a single-column format, in 12pt font, for letter sized paper. Papers should not exceed 10 pages. Shorter papers are welcome. Submission format is PDF. Please submit your paper per email to sharad.garg@intel.com
