SMTPS12 - The Eighth International Workshop on System Management Techniques, Processes and Services
The Eighth International Workshop on System Management Techniques, Processes and Services (SMTPS) will be held in conjunction with the 2012 International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) on May 21, 2012. We would like to invite the pioneers in computer systems management to contribute their latest research. The special focus of the workshop in 2012 is on cloud computing.

Workshop scope
Virtualization technologies and cloud computing have enabled unprecedented flexibility and elasticity in provisioning of applications and services, and have resulted in larger numbers and types of entities that must be managed. As the numbers of both physical and virtual resources in data centers continue to increase, the need for efficient and scalable systems management processes plays an increasingly critical role in coping with the complexity involved in effectively harnessing such resources.
Many issues in systems management within a traditional computing environment remain challenging and are amplified in cloud computing environments - for instance, the need to provide satisfactory and continuous services to applications even in the presence of system failures. On the other hand, there are new challenges and opportunities posed by cloud computing, which call for different solutions. For example, management of computing infrastructure, platform and software as service offerings in the forms of private, public, hybrid and federated cloud datacenters with thousands of servers and a wide variety of software stacks brings in challenges for tomorrow's systems.
SMTPS brings together researchers and practitioners to define and discuss the issues and challenges and share early findings in systems management in the emerging cloud computing paradigm.
