Call For Papers - CFP

Authors are invited to submit papers to the 23rd SOSP on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of computer systems software. SOSP takes a broad view of the systems area and solicits contributions from many fields of systems practice, including, but not limited to, operating systems, file and storage systems, distributed systems, mobility, security, embedded systems, dependability, system management, peer-to-peer systems, and virtualization. We also welcome work that explores the interface to related areas such as computer architecture, networking, programming languages and databases. In keeping with SOSP tradition, we will favor work that explores new territory, continues a significant research dialogue, or reflects on experience with or measurements of state of the art implementations. Papers of particular merit will be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Computer Systems for possible publication in a special issue.

A good paper will demonstrate that the authors:

are attacking a significant problem,

have devised an interesting, compelling solution,

have demonstrated the practicality and benefits of the solution,

have clearly articulated the underlying principles of their work,

have drawn appropriate conclusions,

have clearly described what they have done,

and have clearly articulated the advances beyond previous work.

Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. In addition to citing relevant, published work, authors must relate their SOSP submissions to relevant submissions of their own that are simultaneously under review for this or other venues. The SOSP PC reserves the right to ask authors to provide copies of related simultaneously-submitted papers.

Submissions will be done electronically. Detailed instructions for the submission process can be found on the conference Web site at www.sigops.org/sosp/sosp11.

There will be a scholarship program to support student registration and attendance. Details will be posted on the Web site.
