> Introduction
>
> The Cloud computing emerges as a new computing paradigm which aims  
> to provide secure and reliable, on demand QoS guaranteed computing  
> environments for the end-users. Cloud computing services usage in  
> both academia and industry, changed the way of thinking on how  
> users’ needs can be satisfied by computational infrastructures.  
> However, with the increase of data transferred among different  
> places, it became critical how to support distributed computing  
> resources with advanced network infrastructure services. It is  
> envisioned that network infrastructure services provisioned on- 
> demand could be managed and reconfigured dynamically by Cloud  
> operators and user applications to achieve optimal usage criteria.  
> Such dynamic infrastructures reveal new aspects in network  
> virtualization, service delivery automation and general  
> infrastructure resources management that should be supported by well- 
> defined information models and related middleware. New components of  
> the required netw
>
> ork infrastructure for Cloud services and applications should create  
> an integrated self-management environment that can react to changes  
> in workloads and other events with minimal human interference.  
> Security issues should addressed as a part of the general service  
> delivery framework/workflow and support both infrastructure  
> provisioning process and secure virtualised services/infrastructures  
> operation.
> The workshop will discuss issues of optical network virtualisation  
> to create internal distributed datacenter network infrastructure and  
> provide dedicated inter-cloud network connectivity on-demand.
>
> Objective
>
> NetCloud, collocated with IEEE CloudCom 2011, attempts to address  
> the problem of how the underlying network infrastructure is capable  
> of supporting advanced cloud computing cases. The workshop is  
> intended to bring together network research community, commercial  
> network operators and industry with the major cloud computing  
> players, including IT specialists, researchers and commercial  
> providers.
> Topics of Interest
>
> The workshop includes, but is not limited to the following topics:
>
> Dynamic infrastructure services for Clouds
> Heterogeneous network architectures and frameworks for distributed  
> and high performance computing
> Information modeling for combined network and IT resources  
> infrastructure services
> New services provisioning/delivery models for multi-provider  
> business environment
> Network virtualization technologies
> Virtual networking and network services in Clouds
> Network infrastructure provisioning and management as a part of  
> cloud computing workflows
> Network interfaces for clouds
> Performance and reliability issues
> Service Level Agreement and QoS guarantees in the network layer
> Dynamically provisioned security infrastructures (integration with  
> provider and customer legacy services and service provisioning  
> workflow, security policy definition, security context management)
> End-to-end techniques for autonomic management of cloud resources
> Policy based infrastructure services management
> Experimental platforms that support network management in Cloud  
> computing
> Experimentation testbeds and measurements studies
>
> Call for papers:
> Papers describing original research on both theoretical and  
> practical aspects of dynamic network services for cloud computing  
> are solicited.
