                First ACM/USENIX International Conference on 
                  Virtual Execution Environments (VEE'05)

                  joining ACM SIGPLAN IVME and USENIX VM
                    held in conjunction with PLDI 2005 
                      June 11-12, 2005, Chicago, Ill
                         www.veeconference.org

    Research  results on virtual  execution engines  are scattered  among a
    number of  different venues in  the languages (VM, PLDI,  OOPSLA, IVME,
    ICFP), operating  systems (SOSP, OSDI), and  architecture (ASPLOS, CGO,
    PACT) communities.  The organizers of  the USENIX VM Symposium  and the
    ACM  SIGPLAN IVME Workshop  felt the  needs of  the community  would be
    better  served  by having  a  single  first-rate  conference address  a
    breadth of issues related  to virtual execution environments.  Thus, we
    are happy to announce a  new annual event: the ACM/USENIX Conference on
    Virtual Execution Environments (VEE).  The initial instantiation of VEE
    will  be  co-located  with  PLDI  2005  in  Chicago,  Illinois.  Future
    instances  of  the   conference  will  be  held  jointly   with  OS  or
    architecture conferences.

    VEE promises to be a unique forum that brings together leading practit-
    ioners and researchers  in the broad area that  includes topics such as
    interpreters,  high-level language virtual  machines (JVM,  CLR, etc.),
    machine emulators, translators, and machine simulators.

 Papers are solicited in areas including, but not limited to, the following:

  * Dynamic and high-level languages
  * Environment support for new languages features, 
    domain specific languages
  * Execution environments for trusted computing, security
  * Portable or retargetable interpreters
  * Dynamic compilation techniques
  * Binary translation and optimization systems
  * Mixed-mode interpretive/compiled systems
  * Distributed execution environments
  * Software-based processor/architecture simulators
  * Hardware implementations of VMs
  * Machine emulators
  * VMs and interpreters for real-time or 
    embedded environments
  * Garbage collection
  * VMs in servers and cluster environments
  * VM interactions in multi-VM environments
  * Scalability, simplicity and correctness issues
  * Experience reports
