Abstract :
We present a framework that allows applications to build and customize VM services on the LA microkernel. While the LA microkernel´s abstractions are quite powerful, using these abstractions effectively requires higher-level paradigms. We propose the dataspace paradigm which provides a modular VM framework. The modularity introduced by the dataspace paradigm facilitates implementation and permits dynamic configurability. Initial performance results from a prototype are promising
