The Systems Technologies and Services Department at IBM's Haifa Research Lab (HRL), in collaboration with the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, cordially invite you to a full-day workshop on the subject of virtualization within the SYSTOR 2007 conference. SYSTOR 2007 is the first high-quality refereed systems and storage conference organized by IBM Haifa Labs, drawing upon the successful foundation of previous systems and storage seminars. The purpose of this conference is to forge and nourish research and working relations within the academic and industrial community in Israel and in the world, targeting researchers and practitioners alike.

The virtualization workshop in SYSTOR 2007 will present contemporary advancements in the field of systems virtualization and will feature two renowned keynote speakers: Danny Dolev from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, and Willy Zwaenepoel from Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Switzerland.

SYSTOR 2007 will be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 29-30, 2007, at the HRL site at the Haifa University campus from 09:15 to 17:15. The Virtualization Workshop will take place on the first day followed by the Storage: Market Trends and Future R&D Seminar for practitioners, organized by the IBM Haifa Storage Lab, on the second day.

Lunch and refreshments will be served on both days. Participation is free.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Virtualization techniques: native, emulation, paravirtualization, OS-level and application-level
  • Programming language support for virtualization
  • Hardware virtualization support: machine, IO, networking, storage
