Opening Remarks, Awards, and Keynote
Keynote Address: Virtual Machines: Past, Present, and Future
Mendel Rosenblum, Stanford University
Over the last forty years, the term "virtual machine" has gone
from
describing a narrowly defined object of research curiosity (1960s)
to
commercial success (1970s) to near oblivion (1980s) to
re-incarnation under
the guise of Java (1990s). The 2000s have seen the rebirth of the
original
virtual machine, brought back and updated for today's computing
environment.
In this talk I will review, compare, and contrast the different
virtual
machines identifying the properties that make them exciting today.
