Abstract
Virtual machines provide users with an ability to work with applications or whole desktops on remote system through a remote session or sessions. However, when a remote system hibernates/shuts down the remote session disconnects and subsequently the remote system may log off (close) the session in order to free system resources for other active sessions for other users. Accordingly, the session state is lost and when the user reconnects to the remote system a new session is created, and new instances of applications started in it. It would be beneficial to provide users with the features of the client device upon the remote system such that the remote system captures a current session state of a user's virtual session allowing it to be stored and then allows for subsequent restoration of the session upon the same remote system or another remote system which can access the stored virtual session state.
