Researchers are invited to submit abstracts of new research for inclusion
in an informal Work-in-Progress session. Abstracts of 1-2 pages (inclusive of any figures) should be submitted electronically to Saul Wold at vm04wip@usenix.org by March 7, 2004 (this
is a hard deadline). Abstracts should be in PostScript or PDF format,
viewable by Ghostview or Acroread. Submissions longer than 2 pages will
not be considered.
Program committee members will select the best abstracts for 10- to
15-minute talks during the session. This is intended to be a fun, informal
session that will spark ideas and interactions. Topics of interest
include all aspects of Virtual Machine technology, including (but not
limited to):
- VM implementation
- Hardware implementation of standard VMs
- Compilation techniques
- Security
- Garbage Collection
- Embedded VM systems
- Large VM and Server Issues (scalability and availability)
- Interactions and trade-offs with static compilation
- VMs and Grid Computing
- Porting Experiences
- Performance Issues and Tuning Techniques
- multiple VM environments and interactions
- Proposed standards, particularly empirical studies
- Alternate VM implementation
Abstracts should clearly communicate the ideas behind the work, and should
highlight any initial results. Submissions will be selected based on
originality, the importance of the problem addressed, and the potential
for conveying the ideas clearly in a mere ten minutes. Mature work that
has been presented elsewhere in some form is inappropriate, and will not
be considered. Notification of acceptance will be sent by April 7, 2004.
Any questions should be directed to the Work-in-Progress session chair,
Saul Wold at vm04wip@usenix.org. We look forward to your submissions!
