Managing Virtualization of Networks and Services

This volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series contains all papers th accepted for presentation at the 18 IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM 2007), which was held in the heart of Silicon Valley, San Jose, California, USA, on October 2931, 2007. DSOM 2007 was the 18th event in a series of annual workshops. It followed in the footsteps of previous successful meetings, the most recent of which were held in Dublin, Ireland (DSOM 2006), Barcelona, Spain (DSOM 2005), Davis, California, USA (DSOM 2004), Heidelberg, Germany (DSOM 2003), and Montreal, Canada (DSOM 2002). The goal of the DSOM workshops is to bring together researchers from industry and academia working in the areas of networks, systems, and service management, to discuss recent advances and foster future growth. In contrast to the larger management conferences, such as IM (Integrated Network Management) and NOMS (Network Operations and Management Symposium), DSOM workshops have a single-track program in order to stimulate more intense interaction among participants.

Klappentext
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems, Operations and Management, DSOM 2007, held in San José, CA, USA, in October 2007 in the course of the 3rd International Week on Management of Networks and Services, Manweek 2007. The 20 revised full papers and 5 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on decentralized and peer-to-peer management, fault detection and diagnosis, performance tuning and dimensioning, problem detection and mitigation, operations and tools, service accounting and auditing, Web services and management.
