Abstract

We have developed a middleware system that integrates and extends virtual machine and virtual network technologies to support mutually isolated virtual distributed environments in shared infrastructures like the grid and the PlanetLab overlay infrastructure. Integrating virtual network and on-demand virtual machine creation and customization technologies makes virtual distributed environments a reality. The Violin-based middleware system integrates and enhances such technologies to create virtual distributed environments.
