Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGPLAN/SIGOPS international conference on Virtual execution environments

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 6th ACM SIGPLAN/SIGOPS Conference on Virtual Execution Environments (VEE'10). As the leading conference for presentation of research results on all aspects of virtualization, VEE brings together researchers representing a diverse set of interests. As with previous VEEs, this year's program represents an exciting mix of papers ranging from hardware virtualization to virtual machines for programming languages. In selecting papers, the program committee placed a high priority on choosing work that would be broadly interesting and applicable. This year's conference has upheld a number of other traditions: as in the previous three years, the conference was co-chaired by researchers from both the operating systems and programming languages communities. The program committee also represents a mix of research backgrounds, and features strong representation from industrial research organizations. VEE is again co-located with the International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS). VEE'10 had 50 submissions, 15 of which were chosen for presentation at the conference. The accepted papers span a wide range of virtualization, broadly construed, and we are confident they will make for an interesting conference.
