===================== Call for Papers =====================
1st Workshop on Autonomic Management of Large Scale
Container-based Systems (AMLCS 2017)
September 18-22, 2017, Tucson, AZ, USA
https://www.bth.se/amlcs/
Co-located with the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Cloud
and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC 2017)
===========================================================
Containers are a lightweight OS-level virtualization abstraction
primarily based on namespace isolation and control groups.
A container is a software environment where one can install an
application or application component (the so called micro service)
and all the library dependencies, binaries, and basic
configurations needed to run the application. Containers provide a
higher level of abstraction for the process lifecycle management,
thus enabling not only to easily start and stop applications, but
also to upgrade and release new software versions in a seamless
way. Container packaging mechanisms, like Docker, LXD, and RKT, as
well as management frameworks, like Kubernetes, Cloudify, Mesos,
etc., are promoting their widespread adoption in the Cloud, Big
Data and the Internet industry today. Indeed, containers may solve
many issues, e.g., application dependencies, application
portability, performance overhead.
Despite the wide interest in containers, we are far away from
their maturity stage and there are still many open research
issues. This workshop is specifically focused on the challenges of
autonomic management of large-scale container based systems.
The workshop is supposed to share new findings, exchange ideas,
discuss research challenges and report latest research efforts,
which are related but not limited to the following topics:
- Performance modeling of container based systems
- Monitoring of container based systems
- Characterization of containerized workload
- Orchestration models, mechanisms and policies for large-scale
deployments
- Resource management at run time
- Autonomic management of large-scale container-based systems
- Management of container in cloud networking (e.g., NFV)
- Use cases and challenges for the management / orchestration of
large-scale container-based systems – Cloud, HPC, Big Data, IoT
applications and Internet / Network Services
===========================================================
Submission and Publication
We call for original and unpublished papers describing research
results, experience, visions or new Initiative. Full papers should
not exceed 8 pages and Position papers should not exceed 4 pages.
The paper should be in the standard double column IEEE format for
conference proceedings and paper length includes figures, tables,
references and appendices.
All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including
originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity, and
relevance. Papers are strongly encouraged to report experiences,
measurements, and user studies, and to provide an appropriate
quantitative evaluation.
Presented papers will be included in the Proceedings of the IEEE
Conference ICCAC. A special issue containing few selected paper
will be organized in a prestigious ISI Journal (e.g., IEEE TAA,
Cluster Computing Springer).
Papers should be submitted as PDF files via Easy Chair using the
following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=amlcs17
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend
the workshop and present the paper.
