	Jacob Gorm Hansen, PhD student at DIKU in Copenhagen. Since joining the Xen effort, Jacob has been working on a new way of doing Live VM migration, called Self-Migration. The idea is to perform all the work within the VM, to reduce the complexity of VMM control pane software, and to get better performance during migration. This approach also works well for live self-checkpointing to disk. With this approach, he managed to implement a decentralized cluster-management system, with only a couple of hundred lines of privileged code facing the network (i.e. there is no TCP/IP stack that you can attack). This work is described in an upcoming paper at IEEE ICAC 2006.
