scenario, using other host and guest operating systems, using a variety of hardware
configurations for the virtual environment, using additional hypervisors type 2, and
using other Desktop Grid systems (e.g. based on agents). In addition, we plan to eva-
luate the degradation in the performance obtained on opportunistic virtual environ-
ments in relation to CPU-intensive workloads executed by end-users. Such research
efforts will be aimed but not limited to extend the scope of our conclusions, particu-
larly, in order to improve and generalize the policies presented on this paper and test
its implementation in a Desktop Grid system.
