Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for contributions !!! Deadline : September 20, 2012 !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >>>> CALL FOR TUTORIALS <<<< IEEE CloudNet 2012 The 2012 1st IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking Financially sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, with special thanks to the IEEE Cloud Initiative providing seed funding. November 28-30, 2012 University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France http://www.ieee-cloudnet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud computing has emerged as a promising direction for cost-efficient and reliable service delivery across data communication networks. The dynamic location of service facilities and the virtualization of hardware and software elements are stressing the communication network and protocols, especially when datacenters are interconnected through the Internet. Although the "computing" aspects of Cloud technologies have been largely investigated, lower attention has been devoted to the "networking" and communications aspects. The 2012 IEEE 1st International Conference on Cloud Networking (IEEE CloudNet 2012), part of the IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative, precisely addresses these aspects. Conference topics include (but are not limited to) - Data Center Network Management, Reliability, Optimization - Distributed Data Center Architectures - Internet Routing of Cloud data - Ethernet Routing: TRILL, Shortest Path Bridging, L2LSP, OpenFlow - Virtual Ethernet Bridging, Data Center Bridging - Cloud Traffic Characterization and Measurements - Intra-Cloud and Inter-Cloud Networking - Cloud Traffic Engineering and Control-Plane Architectures - Green Cloud Networking - Security, Privacy, Confidentiality in Cloud networking - Network on the fly, Virtual Control, Virtual Radio, Isolation - Virtualization of Wireless Equipment - Unified User and Machine Mobility Management - Mobile Cloud Networking, Follow-Me-Cloud - Storage Area Networks, Optical Interconnect, Fiber Channel - Content and Service Distribution Supporting IEEE Communications Society Technical Committees: - Cloud Communications and Networking Ad-Hoc TC - Communications Software TC (TCCS) - Communications Systems Integration and Modeling TC (CSIM) - Computer Communications TC (TCCC) - Green Communications & Computing Technical SubCommittee (TSCGCC) - Information Infrastructure and Networking (TCIIN) - Internet TC (ITC) - Network Operations and Management TC (CNOM) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TUTORIALS: Proposals for tutorials to be presented at the IEEE CloudNet'12 are solicited. Potential instructors are requested to submit a tutorial proposal of at most 3 pages, including a biographical sketch and outline of the topics covered by the tutorial to s.giordano at iet.unipi.it AND rougier at telecom-paristech.fr using as email subject: CLOUDNET12_TUTORIALS Tutorial duration will be of 2 hours.
