The goal of IWVT is to be an important research forum that brings together leading practitioners and researchers about system virtualization, which includes topics such as high-level language virtual machines, virtual machines, instructions translators, VMM emulators, virtual desktop environment and applications. IWVT brings together researchers from the programming languages, operating systems and other areas. To reflect this diversity of backgrounds, in 2008 IWVT will be held in conjunction with the 35th International Symposium on Computer Architecture
