HotSWUp'09 | |
| Title: | Second ACM Workshop on Software Upgrades |
| Submission Deadline: | 2009-09-04 |
| Webpage: | http://www.hotswup.org |
| Dates: | 10/25/2009 |
| Location: | Orlando, Florida |
| Contact Email: | tdumitra@ece.cmu.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| Software must be upgraded regularly to incorporate bug fixes and security patches or to keep up with the evolving requirements. Recent studies and a large body of anecdotal evidence suggest that, in practice, upgrades are expensive and failure-prone. HotSWUp is an interdisciplinary workshop, based on synergies among the areas of programming languages, software engineering and systems. By seeking contributions from both academic researchers and industry practitioners, HotSWUp aims to combine novel ideas with experience from upgrading real systems. The workshop builds on the success of HotSWUp'08, where the paper presentations and lively discussions attracted a diverse audience of researchers. |

| Synopsis: |
| Virtualization, broadly speaking, is a recognition of the adage that any problem in computer science can be solved through the introduction of an additional layer of indirection. 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. |
