Hi, Is there a canonical paper I can cite for Libvirt in academic publications? The best I've found so far is Bolt, M., Birkenheuer, G., Niehörster, O., & Brinkmann, A. (2010). Non-Intrusive Virtualization Management using Libvirt. Proceedings of the 2nd Design, Automation, and Test in Europe Conference (DATE'10) (pp. 1-6). Dresden, Germany: IEEE. Retrieved from http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5457142&isnumber=5456897 A lot of frameworks used in academic work have sort of "standard" citations, people that use the framework tend to cite that paper. The authors get citations, we get cool frameworks, everyone wins.

I don't know of any academic publications talking about libvirt - that one you reference above was news to me too ! Of course Matthias is the maintainer of our ESX & Hyper-V ports in libvirt, so not surprising. Aside from Matthias though, the rest of the libvirt maintainers are primarily from the business world, rather than academic world, so writing academic papers isn't a priority for us. We tend to focus more on more informal wirting such as user guides / blog posts, etc Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
