HotDep 2008 | |
| Title: | Fourth Workshop on Hot Topics in System Dependability |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-07-18 |
| Webpage: | http://www.usenix.org/events/hotdep08/ |
| Dates: | December 7, 2008 |
| Location: | San Diego, CA, USA |
| Contact Email: | hotdep08chairs@usenix.org |
| Synopsis: |
| Authors are invited to submit position papers to the Fourth Workshop on Hot Topics in System Dependability (HotDep '08), intended to bring together the systems and dependability communities. The workshop will be co-located with OSDI 2008. We seek position papers (5 pages) in the following categories: - new techniques, algorithms, or protocols - revisiting old open problems using novel approaches - debunking an entrenched perspective or articulating new ones - describing an emerging problem The program committee seeks papers that will generate debate at the workshop, and work that is supported by some (early) credible form of motivation and validation. |
HotSWUp 2008 | |
| Title: | First International Workshop on Hot Topics in Software Upgrades (HotSWUp08) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-07-25 |
| Webpage: | http://www.hotswup.org |
| Dates: | October 19-23, 2008 (workshop day TBD) |
| Location: | Nashville, TN, USA |
| Contact Email: | tdumitra+hotswup08@ece.cmu.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| The goal of HotSWUp is to identify cutting-edge research ideas for implementing software upgrades. Whether upgrades are applied offline or online, they significantly impact the software's performance and reliability. Recent studies and a large body of anecdotal evidence suggest that, in practice, upgrades are failure-prone, tedious, and expensive. HotSWUp is an interdisciplinary workshop, based on synergies among the domains of systems, programming languages and software engineering. By seeking contributions from both academic researchers and industry practitioners, HotSWUp aims to combine bold, novel ideas, with experience from upgrading real systems. |

| Title: | The Third International Workshop on Software Support for Portable Storage |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-07-31 |
| Webpage: | http://www.iwssps.org |
| Dates: | October 23, 2008 |
| Location: | Atlanta, Georgia, USA |
| Contact Email: | jinsoo@cs.kaist.ac.kr |
| Synopsis: |
| New emerging storage media such as Flash memory require extensive software support for higher performance and reliability, lower power consumption, and value-added functionalities. The main goal of the International Workshop on Software Support for Portable Storage (IWSSPS) is to bring together people from industry and academia who are interested in all aspects of software support for portable storage. The workshop will provide a forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions, and current trends in this area. |

NEW THIS MONTH! | WASL 2008 |
| Title: | 1st Workshop on the Analysis of System Logs (WASL'08) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-09-02 |
| Webpage: | http://www.usenix.org/events/wasl08/ |
| Dates: | December, 7, 2008 |
| Location: | San Diego, CA, USA |
| Contact Email: | greg@bronevetsky.com |
| Synopsis: |
| System logs are a rich information source for analyzing and diagnosing system problems and predicting future events. However, most of this information is wasted due to their lack of organization or cross-vendor semantic consistency. This workshop focuses on novel techniques for extracting operationally useful information from existing logs and methods to improve the information content of future logs. Topics: Reports on public log sources Log anonymization Log feature detection and extraction Prediction of malfunction or misuse Statistical log characterization Log compression/comparison Methods to enhance and standardize log semantics Diagnostic techniques Log visualization Analysis of services logs |
HotPar 2009 | |
| Title: | First USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics In Parallelism |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-10-17 |
| Webpage: | http://www.usenix.org/event/hotpar09 |
| Dates: | March 30-31, 2009 |
| Location: | Berkeley, CA |
| Contact Email: | hotpar09chairs@usenix.org |
| Synopsis: |
| The First USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Parallelism (HotPar '09) will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of parallel computing. Parallel architectures can potentially mitigate the problems of poor energy performance of conventional microprocessors, but this new computer architecture will only be successful if languages, systems, and applications can take advantage of parallel hardware. We request submissions of position papers that propose new directions for research of products in these areas, advocate non-traditional approaches to the problems engendered by parallelism, or potentially generate controversy and discussion. |

| EuroSys'09, the European Conference on Computer Systems, seeks papers on all aspects of computer systems - especially ones that bridge multiple areas. We're looking for papers that report on the design, implementation, evaluation and deployment of systems or research work. We also actively encourage papers about negative results, repetition or refutation of prior results, new ideas, and experiences with ideas or systems. We'll have both regular papers and short ones. We welcome submissions and attendance from all over the world. |
