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
