Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Virtual execution environments

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Third International Conference on Virtual Execution Environments (VEE), it is our pleasure to welcome you to San Diego, California and to the 2007 Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC). VEE this year continues to grow both in terms of the quality of the technical contributions and in community participation. The technical program this year is outstanding. We are grateful to the truly exceptional committee of experts from the international research communities of both operating systems and programming languages, who, under the tireless and focused leadership of Steven Hand and David Tarditi, reviewed a VEE-record 70 submissions and ultimately selected 19 papers for the program, representing some of the most topical work in the field of virtualization. The committee met in person in Seattle, Washington to identify the final program. We deeply appreciate the tremendous amount of work required to accomplish this result and to the entire VEE community for continuing to submit high-quality papers.
