The technique is applied to modern systems at many interfaces, including hardware, OS system calls, and language runtimes. While these approaches differ in implementation, they provide similar benefits and must tackle related challenges. VEE'10 brings together researchers across the many applications of virtualization in today's systems. We invite original papers on topics relating to virtualization -- especially those that will have broad appeal across these approaches.
