[Storage-research-list] VEE '16 Call For Papers

[Don Porter]

***************************************************************************************************** 

The 12th ACM SIGPLAN/SIGOPS International Conference on Virtual 
Execution Environments (VEE '16)
April 2-3, 2016
http://conf.researchr.org/home/vee-2016
****************************************************************************************************** 


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.

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.

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;
     managed runtimes and virtual machines;
     management technologies for virtual environments;
     performance analysis and debugging for virtual environments;
     security and virtual environments;
     virtualization in cloud computing;
     virtualization technologies applied to specific problem domains 
such as HPC, realtime, and power management.

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]

Please submit your paper through https://vee16.hotcrp.com/ after reading 
the following submission instructions.

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 www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm (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.

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.

Submissions must describe unpublished work that is not currently 
submitted for publication elsewhere as discussed at 
www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication. Authors of accepted 
papers will be required to sign an ACM copyright release. The 
proceedings will be published by ACM.

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.)

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: vee16chairs at acm.org
