Colleagues: 
We are organizing a workshop on Containers at the IC2E confernece (
http://conferences.computer.org/IC2E/2015/index.htm). Please submit your 
work in progress papers in this area.

WoC: First International Workshop on Container Technologies and Container 
Clouds -- 2015
March 9-13, 2015, Tempe, AZ, USA
In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Conference on Cloud 
Engineering (IC2E 2015)
 
Lightweight Operating System Containers like Docker are creating storms in 
the Cloud. They are likely to transform the computing industry as we know 
in the next few years. This first workshop on container technology and 
container cloud invites papers and demo’s on fundamentals of containers, 
their use in various commercial and scientific fields, and on the 
container deployment and orchestration technologies to enable container 
cloud platforms. We solicit papers from academia, industry partners and 
practitioners to join the discuss on containers and to bring their ideas 
to bridge the gap between containers and what it would take to make them 
the engines of next generation cloud computing.
Topics of interested include but are not limited to:
                Fundamental issues with Containers
                Operating system extensions to enable flexible containers
                Container Security, Isolation and Performance
                Convergence of fields like HPC, Big Data, and Cloud using 
Containers
                Containers vs Virtual Machines
                Workloads leveraging Containers
                Orchestration Technologies for Containers
                Hardware exploitation for Containers and Containerized 
Workloads
                New Programming Models Enabled by Containers
                ...
Key Dates:
                Submission Deadline: Jan 15, 2014
                Author Notification: Jan 25, 2014

Submissions:
Since this is a rapid evolving field, we are accepting papers and 
presentations in multiple formats. Perspective authors and presenters can 
send their proposal as a technical paper, as a 1-2 page abstract, or a set 
of presentation slides. We want to make this venue accessible both for 
academic work as well as for industry participants so we encourage 
experience reports for presentation. The presentation material will be 
available on this site during and after the workshop. Please send your 
submissions to sseelam at us.ibm.com. We appreciate your interest in this 
important field.

Thanks,
Seelam
