+<h2>Abstract:</h2>
+<blockquote>
+Managed Runtime Environments (MREs), such as the JVM and the CLI, form an
+attractive environment for program execution, by providing portability and 
+safety, via the use of a bytecode language and automatic memory management,
+as well as good performance, via just-in-time (JIT) compilation.
+Nevertheless, developing a fully featured MRE, including e.g.
+a garbage collector and JIT compiler, is a herculean
+task.  As a result, new languages cannot easily take advantage of the 
+benefits of MREs, and it is difficult to experiment with
+extensions of existing MRE based languages.
+
+This paper describes and evaluates VMKit, a first attempt to build a common
+substrate that eases the development of high-level MREs.  We have successfully
+used VMKit to build two MREs: a Java Virtual Machine and a Common
+Language Runtime.  We provide an extensive study of the lessons learned in
+developing this infrastructure, and assess the ease of implementing new 
+MREs or MRE extensions and the resulting performance.  In  
+particular, it took one of the authors only one month to develop a Common
+Language Runtime using VMKit. VMKit furthermore has performance comparable
+to the well established open source MREs Cacao, Apache Harmony and Mono, and is
+1.2 to 3 times slower than JikesRVM on most of the DaCapo
+benchmarks.
