NEW THIS MONTH! | CSAW |
| Title: | 1st Computer Security Architecture Workshop |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-06-17 |
| Webpage: | http://www.rites.uic.edu/csaw |
| Dates: | 11/02/2007 |
| Location: | Alexandria, VA, USA |
| Contact Email: | solworth@rites.uic.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| The Computer Security Architecture Workshop (CSAW)--pronounced see-saw--solicits papers on security architectures, their interfaces, implementations, and implications. Architectures, whether system or application, are composed of abstractions (interfaces) and their implementations. Security Architectures are architectures which enable implementations that are resilient to an appropriate and broad-based spectrum of threats. An evaluation of a Security Architecture requires understanding these threats; the tradeoffs between different system goals, including between security and non-security goals; the long-term appropriateness of its interfaces; and the implementations it allows. The best interfaces are those that capture the most important issues, enable different implementations, and are flexible enough to adapt (or be adapted) to different threats. |
PLOS 2007 | |
| Title: | Fourth Workshop on Programming Languages and Operating Systems (PLOS 2007) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-06-29 |

| Dates: | October 18, 2007 |
| Location: | Skamania Lodge, Stevenson, WA, USA |
| Contact Email: | eeide@cs.utah.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| Historically, operating system development and programming language development went hand-in-hand. Today, although the systems community at large retains an iron grip on C, many people continue to explore novel approaches to OS construction based on new programming language ideas. This workshop will bring together researchers and developers from the programming language and operating system domains to discuss recent work at the intersection of these fields. It will be a platform for discussing new visions, challenges, experiences, problems, and solutions arising from the application of advanced programming and software engineering concepts to operating systems construction, and vice versa. |
ASPLOS 2008 | |
| Title: | Thirteenth International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS'08) |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2007-08-01 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-08-07 |
| Webpage: | http://research.microsoft.com/asplos08/ |
| Dates: | March 1-5, 2008 |

| Contact Email: | larus@microsoft.com |
| Synopsis: |
| ASPLOS is a multi-disciplinary conference for research that spans the boundaries of hardware, computer architecture, compilers, languages, operating systems, networking, and applications. ASPLOS provides a high quality forum for scientists and engineers to present their latest research findings in these rapidly changing fields. This conference occurs at a time when computer architecture is facing great challenges, due both to the end of single-processor performance scaling and to new demands imposed by mobile and gigascale computing. In addition to the main program, this upcoming ASPLOS will offer several tutorials and workshops on a variety of focus areas. |
NEW THIS MONTH! | PPoPP 2008 |
| Title: | 13th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2007-08-13 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-08-20 |
| Webpage: | http://www.ppopp.org |
| Dates: | February, 20-23, 2007 |
| Location: | Salt Lake City, UT |
| Contact Email: | cascaval@us.ibm.com |
| Synopsis: |
| PPoPP is a forum for leading work on all aspects of parallel programming, including foundational results, techniques, tools, and practical experience. In the context of the symposium, "parallel programming" is construed to encompass work on concurrent, multithreaded, multicore, multiprocessor, and tightly-clustered systems, but typically not wide-area distribution. Given the rise of multicore processors, PPoPP is particularly interested in work that seeks to transition parallel programming into the computing mainstream. Full details at http://www.ppopp.org |

NEW THIS MONTH! | NSDI 2008 |
| Title: | 5th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2007-10-02 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-10-08 |
| Webpage: | http://www.usenix.org/nsdi08/ |
| Dates: | April 16-18 2008 |
| Location: | San Francisco, CA, USA |
| Contact Email: | nsdi08chairs@usenix.org |
| Synopsis: |
| NSDI focuses on the design principles and practical evaluation of large-scale networked and distributed systems. Systems as diverse as Internet routing, peer-to-peer and overlay networks, sensor networks, Web-based systems, and measurement infrastructures share a set of common challenges. Progress in any of these areas requires a deep understanding of how researchers are addressing the challenges of large-scale systems in other contexts. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the networking and systems community--including communication, distributed systems, and operating systems--to foster a broad appro ach to addressing our common research challenges. |
| Title: | ACM SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award Call for Nominations |
| Summary: |
|
The Mark Weiser Award, created in 2001 by ACM SIGOPS, is given annually to an individual who has demonstrated creativity and innovation in operating systems research. The award is named in honor of Mark Weiser, a computing visionary recognized for his research accomplishments during his career at Xerox PARC. The selection committee will choose the recipient based on: "contributions that are highly creative, innovative, and possibly high- risk, in keeping with the visionary spirit of Mark Weiser." The recipient must have begun his or her career no earlier than 20 years prior to nomination. ACM SIGOPS presents a $1000 prize to the recipient in memory of Mark and his many contributions to SIGOPS and the operating systems community. The 2007 award will be announced and presented at the SOSP conference in October. Nominations and supporting letters should be sent to Mendel Rosenblum, the committee chair, via e-mail (mendel@cs.stanford.edu) by September 1, 2007. Please see http://www.acm.org/sigops/weiser_award.htmlfor detailed nomination procedures, a list of previous award winners, and the award committee members.
