Proceedings of the 15th ACM SIGPLAN/SIGOPS International Conference on Virtual Execution Environments

Abstract

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 7th ACM SIGPLAN/SIGOPS Conference on Virtual Execution Environments (VEE'11). As the leading conference for presentation of research results on all aspects of virtualization, VEE brings together researchers representing a diverse set of interests. This year, we received 84 abstracts, 68 full submissions, and selected 20 papers for presentation at the conference. In selecting papers, the program committee placed high priority on work that is broadly informative and applicable to both researchers and practitioners. We are confident these papers will make for an interesting conference and a valuable contribution to the study and practice of virtualization. Additionally, the program includes a keynote presentation by David Bacon on virtualizing new forms of devices such as FPGAs. VEE'11 is again co-located with the International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS). Our authors, program committee, sponsors, and supporters all span the boundaries between operating systems and programming language implementation, and reflect equally strong academic and industrial interests in the field.
