Call for WorkshopsCMG'08 / Las VegasDecember 7th, 2008 |
IT professionals responsible for today’s computing environments know the only constant is change. Today’s competitive advantage will quickly become tomorrow’s legacy liability. To apply the latest techniques, improve your skills in load and stress testing, benchmarking, performance optimization, software performance engineering, resource management, capacity analysis, simulation and analytic modeling and cost management, access to knowledge from industry leaders is no longer an option, but a requirement!
CMG is the primary source of expert computer performance knowledge, capturing the collective wisdom of the very best in the industry for over 30 years. CMG calls for Workshops to be presented at the 34th Annual International Conference being held in Las Vegas, NV, December 7-12, 2008. We ask for Workshops that focus not only on performance and capacity issues, but also on any technologies, disciplines, techniques, and approaches related to Systems Management or Information Systems.
We are also asking for "How To" workshops that explain how to apply popular tools and products to important performance & capacity tasks. "How To" workshops are meant to educate performance professionals in the application of commercially available technology. Specific focus areas for 2008 will include Capacity Planning for green datacenters and performance visualization.
Submissions at all levels are requested: introductory, technical, managerial and leading edge. We require PowerPoint slides with speaker’s notes prior to the conference in time for publication in the workshop book. Workshops are traditionally 3 hours in length, plus a half hour break.
Sample Subject Areas: z/OS, LINUX/Unix/Windows, WebSphere/Web/eBusiness, SOA, Web Services, Future Technologies, Executive Management, Load & Stress Testing, Software Performance Engineering, Storage, Network Performance, Simulation and Analytic Modeling, Applied Statistics & Forecasting, Database Performance, ITIL, ICCP, Performance Visualization, Capacity Planning for Green Datacenters, Implementing Virtualization.
