[Planetlab-users] CFP: Virtual Execution Environments (VEE) 2008, Deadline 27 August

[David Gregg]

Hi,

I'd like to draw your attention to the ACM SIGPLAN/SIGOPS International 
Conference on Virtual Execution Environments which deals with both 
OS-level virtualization and virtual machines for implementing programming 
languages. The CFP for VEE 2008 can be found below.

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.

Thanks,

David.

                             Call For Papers

The VEE conference brings together researchers and practitioners in
the area of virtual execution environments for programs and systems.
The conference seeks original papers on virtualization at all levels
of the hardware and software stack.  The topics of interest including,
but are not limited to:

   o    Virtual machines for high-level languages
   o    Programming language support for virtualization
   o    Compiler support for virtualization including dynamic compilation
   o    Binary translation and optimization
   o    Novel techniques and applications of interpreters
   o    Automatic resource and memory management
   o    Virtualization for security and reliability
   o    Virtualization technologies for grid computing
   o    Virtualization technologies for parallel computing
   o    Virtual machine monitors
   o    Operating system support for virtualization
   o    Management technologies for virtual environments
   o    Large-scale virtual environments
   o    Virtual Storage
   o    Virtualization technologies for desktop applications
   o    Applications that use virtualization in novel ways
   o    Other experiences with virtual execution environments
   o    Performance analysis and debugging for virtual exec. environments

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

   Papers must be formatted according to the ACM proceedings format and
   should be no longer than 10 pages in this format. This 10-page limit
   includes everything (i.e., it is the total length of the paper).
   The formatting rules will be strictly enforced, and papers that do
   not conform to them may be automatically rejected by the program
   chairs.  Templates for the ACM proceedings format can be found at:

       http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html

   Submissions should be in PDF and printable on US Letter-sized paper.

   Submitted papers must describe work unpublished in venues with a
   formal proceedings, and not currently submitted for publication
   elsewhere.  See the SIGPLAN republication policy for more details:

       http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/republicationpolicy.htm

   Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign ACM copyright
   release forms. Proceedings will be published by ACM Press.


PAPER EVALUATION

   The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of
   each submission as well as its general accessibility to the VEE
   audience. Papers will be judged on significance, originality,
   relevance, correctness, and clarity. The abstract and introduction
   must be written so that they can be understood by an audience with
   varied expertise. The paper should clearly identify what has been
   accomplished, why it is significant, and how it compares with
   previous work.  Papers in new areas or novel approaches to existing
   areas are especially encouraged.  It is acceptable for papers in new
   areas to contain fewer quantitative evaluations and comparisons than
   those in more established areas.  Suggestions on how to prepare a
   good submission can be found at the following two web sites:
