Overview
SCOPE
Virtualization is a widely used technology intended to enable efficient management of resources in computing systems that range from small desktops and clusters to large facilities such as Cloud data centers. This technology increases the utilization of the underlying hardware by offering multi-tenancy. Furthermore, isolation among multiple users on the same resource is also provided, which is a mechanism for effective deployment of workloads. On the other hand, virtualization is a platform to deal with heterogeneity of resources. Consequently, the virtualization technology impacts the entire computing stack-the hardware, middleware and application layers. Rapid advances in hardware acceleration, the drive towards efficiently achieving exascale computing, harnessing the use of multiple and decentralized Clouds and opportunities in decoupling physical and logical networks is paving way for significant innovation in the virtualization arena. Virtualization may be used in many other domains and for many other purposes, some of them not even thought yet.
This special issue invites authors to submit original and innovative research articles that impact any avenue of virtualization for future computing systems.
