Dear all,<br>
<br>
the International Workshop on “Virtualization in High-Performance
Cloud Computing” (VHPC), just recently completed on May in
co-location with the ISC High Performance 2023 conference in
Hamburg, has come to its <b>18th successful edition</b>.
Therefore, we're glad to celebrate the "maturity" of the VHPC
series of workshops, by accompanying this year edition with a <b>Special
Issue of the Elsevier Journal of Systems Architecture (JSA),
focusing on VHPC-related research topics</b>:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-systems-architecture/about/call-for-papers#virtualization-in-high-performance-cloud-computing" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-systems-architecture/about/call-for-papers#virtualization-in-high-performance-cloud-computing</a><br>
(Q1 journal in Scimago SJR/CiteScore rankings)<br>
<p>Papers for the JSA Special Issue on VHPC are due on <b>September
29th, 2023</b>.<br>
</p>
Authors of accepted papers at VHPC 2023 and previous recent
editions of the workshop are invited to submit extended versions
of their VHPC papers to the JSA Special Issue. These will undergo
a new peer-reviewing process, to meet the high standards required
for publishing on JSA. Extended papers need to provide significant
unpublished novel contents, compared to the already published
workshop papers (check the guide for authors for details).<br>
<br>
The <b>JSA VHPC Special Issue call for papers is also open to any
other submission dealing with topics within the VHPC scope</b>,
e.g., virtualization across the entire software stack with a
special focus on the intersection among HPC,
Containerization/Virtualization and Cloud/Edge Computing,
encompassing aspects related to design/architecture, management
& orchestration, performance & fault-tolerance, modeling
and configuration/tooling.<br>
<br>
For more information, submission guidelines, and the submission
link, please, refer to the <b>official page about the JSA Special
Issue on VHPC</b>:<br>
