Program

 

The workshop program is now available on our DCM 15 Workshop Program page.

 

Background

Today, many research organizations in academia, government labs and industry are exploring new areas for the management of Internet connected platforms and devices. For the cloud service providers and enterprise datacenters, the software defined datacenter (network, compute, storage) and subsequent orchestration and management of the service advocates for a larger role for platforms which can be dynamically discovered, configured, and managed. Existing open source cloud management frameworks have provided a rich foundation for additional research avenues. For the Internet of Things, the IoT gateway may be the management access point for management of IoT devices over the Internet. With virtualization, manageability needs to extend from managing virtual machine to containers.

The research may involve: 1) development of management frameworks to support IoT; 2) identification of technological and operational gaps in research and development to increase the capabilities of data center managers (e.g. autonomics and orchestration), and 3) identification of manageability gaps, including opportunities to build in additional levels resilience and management capabilities.

 

Topics of Interest

 

This workshop aims to showcase and disseminate new ideas and high quality research on manageability of devices, platforms, system and datacenters. We solicit original research articles, review papers, theoretical studies, and practical software systems incorporating new paradigms, experimental prototypes, and insightful requirement analysis with the above theme. Submittals are encouraged from on-going research, completed research, and experiences from implementations.

Review and Publication of Manuscripts:

 

Submitted papers will be reviewed by the DCM Program Committee members and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation.

Authors of papers accepted are expected to presented at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore, IFIP and ACM digital library (including Open Access – doaj.org). Papers select will also be published in a special issue of the "Journal of Network and Systems Management" on "DCM 2015". Presentations (slides) of accepted papers will be posted on the DMTF website.

 

Travel Grants to the Workshop

 

The DMTF offers travel grants of $1000 each to defer the cost of travel to the workshop. The travel grant applications are reviewed and awarded by the Organization Committee. The money is awarded during the workshop.
