The 2nd Virtual Machine Meetup 2015 will be held on 10th and 11th of September at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland (rooms IFW A32.1 and A34 from 9am - 5pm, building located here). It is a venue for discussing the latest research and developments in the area of managed language execution. We welcome presentations of new research results, experience reports, as well as position statements that can lead to interesting discussions. The program of last year's VMM2014 can be found here.
Participation is free of charge and includes snacks, drinks, and coffee during the breaks. Please register by sending a mail to thomas.wuerthinger@oracle.com including your full name and affiliation that should show on your name tag. There are limited participant slots due to the contraints of the room, so please register early.
