VEE 2016 - 12th ACM SIGPLAN/SIGOPS International Conference on Virtual Execution Environment

VEE'16 accepts both full-length and short papers. Both types of submissions are reviewed to the same standards and differ primarily in the scope of the ideas expressed. Short papers are limited to half the space of full-length papers. The program committee will not accept a full paper on the condition that it is cut down to fit in a short paper slot, nor will it invite short papers to be extended to full length. Submissions will be considered only in the category in which they are submitted.
Short papers are new to VEE this year. An ideal short paper would express an idea that doesn't require 12 pages to describe or evaluate. The ideas should be well formed and complete just like those in a full-length paper. A short paper should not be a HotNets / HotStorage-style workshop paper with an interesting idea that isn't yet fully developed. Short papers will be held to the same standard as full-length papers in terms of clarity of presentation and evaluation, however, the scope of the work as well as the breadth of the evaluation is expected to be smaller.
We invite authors to submit original papers related to virtualization across all layers of the software stack down to the microarchitectural level. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
virtualization support for programs and programmers;
architecture support for virtualization;
operating system support for virtualization;
compiler and programming language support for virtualization;
runtime system support for virtualization;
virtual I/O, storage, and networking;
memory management;
management technologies for virtual environments;
performance analysis and debugging for virtual environments;
virtualization technologies applied to specific problem domains such as cloud, HPC, realtime, power management, and security.
