We would like to invite you to participate to participate at keynote speach "Network-Awareness and Virtualization Meets Cloud" by Volker Hilt (Head of Networked Services Research, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, Germany)
The keynote will be given during the SETM Workshop co-located with the CNSM conference in Zurich at 14:30 on Oct 18, 2013. 

Abstract

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way services are provided over the Internet. Cloud-based services scale up and down seamlessly using the resources needed to meet current demand. While services can easily manage computing resources such as CPU and storage, it is challenging to gain visibility into the network infrastructure and configure network resources for the delivery of a service. This limitation of today's clouds is impacting in particular telecommunication services that are time-sensitive, media-based, mission-critical, or persistent (long-lived).

Network virtualization and network-awareness are key enablers for a new type of cloud that supports a wider range of services at greater efficiency. New research on network-awareness and virtualization is enabling services to quickly respond to changing network conditions and jointly orchestrate network and computing resources. These clouds can use resources more efficiently and deliver highly available services with superior end-to-end performance.
