<br>
Virtualization has a central role in modern systems. It
constitutes a key aspect in a wide range of environments, from
small mobile computing devices to large-scale data centers and
computational clouds. Virtualization techniques encompass the
underlying hardware, the operating system, and the runtime
system. Although these layers have different design and
implementation techniques, the fundamental challenges and
insights tend to be similar. <br>
<br>
The 12th ACM SIGPLAN/SIGOPS International Conference on Virtual
Execution Environments (VEE '16) brings together researchers and
practitioners from different computer systems domains to
interact and share ideas in order to advance the state of the
art of virtualization and broaden its applicability. 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. <br>
<br>
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): <br>
<br>
virtualization support for programs and programmers; <br>
architecture support for virtualization; <br>
operating system support for virtualization; <br>
compiler and programming language support for
virtualization; <br>
runtime system support for virtualization; <br>
virtual I/O, storage, and networking; <br>
memory management; <br>
managed runtimes and virtual machines; <br>
management technologies for virtual environments; <br>
performance analysis and debugging for virtual environments;
<br>
security and virtual environments; <br>
virtualization in cloud computing; <br>
virtualization technologies applied to specific problem
domains such as HPC, realtime, and power management. <br>
<br>
As usual (since 2008), VEE '16 is co-located with ASPLOS 2016,
which will take place in Atlanta, Georgia. VEE '16 will be held
concurrently with the ASPLOS 2016 workshops on April 2-3, 2016.

[Submission Guidelines] <br>
<br>
Please submit your paper through <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://vee16.hotcrp.com/"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://vee16.hotcrp.com/">https://vee16.hotcrp.com/</a></a>
after reading the following submission instructions. <br>
<br>
Submissions must attack an interesting problem and clearly
articulate their contribution relative to previous work.
Submissions must be in ACM SIGPLAN proceedings format, 10-point
type on 11-point leading, 7x9 inch text block, and two columns
with .33 inch column separation, and submissions may not exceed
12 pages for full papers and 6 pages for short papers, excluding
references. Word and LaTeX templates for this format are
available at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm">www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm</a>
(but please note that 10-point is not the default). Pages must
be numbered, and submissions must be in PDF, legible when
printed black and white on US Letter and A4 paper. All fonts
must be embedded in the submitted PDF. Submissions violating the
formatting guidelines may be rejected without review. <br>
<br>
Reviewing will be double blind, therefore submissions must be
anonymous. Author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, and any
other hints of identity must not be included in the submission.
You should not anonymize your bibliographic references; instead,
cite your work in the third person so that your submission is
self-contained. Make a good-faith effort to conceal any
authorship connection between prior work and yours. <br>
<br>
Submissions must describe unpublished work that is not currently
submitted for publication elsewhere as discussed at <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication">www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication</a></a>.
Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign an ACM
copyright release. The proceedings will be published by ACM. <br>
<br>
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the
proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This
date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your
conference. The official publication date affects the deadline
for any patent filings related to published work. (For those
rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM
Digital Library after the conference is over, the official
publication date remains the first day of the conference.) <br>
<br>
Please ensure that your paper satisfies all the above
requirements for content and formatting before submission; if
you have a question about any of these issues, please send email
to the program chairs, Don Porter and Vivek Sarkar using this
email: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
