+## Overview
+
+This proposal aims to define an interface to use Shared Virtual Memory (SVM)
+in SYCL 2.2. The provisional SYCL 2.2 specification (revision date 2016/02/15)
+already contains SVM, but this proposal aims to make SVM in SYCL 2.2 more
+generic, easier to program, better defined, and not necessarily tied to
+OpenCL 2.2.
