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 approach to addressing our common research challenges. |
IPTPS 2008 | |
| Title: | 7th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS '08) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-11-02 |
| Webpage: | http://www.cs.toronto.edu/iptps2008/ |
| Dates: | 02, 25-26, 2008 |
| Location: | Tampa Bay, FL USA |
| Contact Email: | stefan@cs.toronto.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| The 7th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS '08) provides a forum for researchers to engage in a lively discussion of current and future trends in peer-to-peer systems, broadly defined. In the context of this year's workshop, peer-to-peer systems are defined to be systems that enable sharing and cooperation among ordinary users whether the underlying technology is decentralized or not, including but not limited to Internet systems, Web-based systems, overlay networks, online games, mobile systems, and online social networks. We encourage submissions of early work, with novel and interesting ideas. |
MSPC 2008 | |
| Title: | The 2008 ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Memory Systems Performance & Correctness (MSPC 2008) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-11-06 |
| Webpage: | http://www.cs.umass.edu/MSPC08 |
| Dates: | March 2, 2008 |
| Location: | Seattle, WA, USA |
| Contact Email: | bradchen@google.com |
| Synopsis: |
| As CPUs rely increasingly on parallelism rather than frequency to improve performance, the memory system emerges as the fundamental barrier to continued improvement in system-level performance. Previous tactics like increasing cache size and associativity become less and less relevant in a world where NUMA memory behaviors and inter-processor contention dominate application performance. MSPC is a forum for exploring these emerging challenges. This multi-disciplinary workshop fosters collaboration among researchers in compilers, programming languages, architecture, operating systems and adjacent specialties. We welcome position papers on all aspects of memory system performance and correctness. |

WiMAN'08 | |
| Title: | 2nd IEEE Intl. Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-12-07 |

| Synopsis: |
| Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. WiMAN 2008 invites submissions addressing theoretical and experimental work at all layers of wireless mesh and ad-hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. |
IEEE Micro Special Issue CFP | |
| Title: | Interaction of Computer Architecture and Operating Systems in the Many-core Era (IEEE Micro May/June 2008) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-01-05 |
| Webpage: | http://research.microsoft.com/~onur/cfp_micro_may08.pdf |
| Dates: | May 2008 |
| Location: | IEEE Micro |
| Contact Email: | onur@microsoft.com |
| Synopsis: |
| As the Operating System (OS) or system software in general is the centerpiece of a computer system managing various platform hardware resources, the breathtaking evolution of the many-core processor architecture will require a fundamental reexamination of mainstream OS/system-software design decisions. The purpose of this special issue of the IEEE Micro magazine is to bring readers the latest advances in the interface of the fields of operating systems and computer architecture, with a focus on how the important system software affects the architecture design and vice versa, in order to achieve increasingly involved platform and system design goals. |
DCoSS | |
| Title: | International Conference on Distributed Computing on Sensor Systems |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-01-28 |
| Webpage: | http://www.dcoss.org |
| Dates: | June, 11-14, 2008 |
| Location: | Santorini Island, Greece |
| Contact Email: | pinotti@unipg.it |
| Synopsis: |
| Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes them immensely useful for data collection and analysis. The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications, and systematic design techniques and tools), but networking-related contributions that support high level abstractions are also welcome. Best paper awards will be given in each of the three conference technical tracks: algorithms, applications, and systems. DCOSS '08 Proceedings will appear through the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series of Springer Verlag. |
