| Title: | Workshop on the Analysis of System Logs 2008 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-09-08 |
| Webpage: | www.systemloganalysis.com |
| Dates: | 12/7/2008 |
| 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 publicly available 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 (problem ticket) logs |
HotPower 2008 | |
| Title: | Workshop on Power Aware Computing and Systems |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-09-11 |
| Webpage: | http://www.usenix.org/event/hotpower08/cfp/cfp.html |
| Dates: | December 7, 2008 |
| Location: | San Diego, CA, USA |
| Contact Email: | hotpower08chair@usenix.org |
| Synopsis: |
| Power is increasingly a central issue in designing systems, from embedded systems to data centers. We do not understand energy and its tradeoff with performance and other metrics very well. This limits our ability to further extend the performance envelope without violating physical constraints related to power, heat generation, or cooling. This workshop provides a forum to present the latest research and to debate directions, challenges, and novel ideas about building energy-efficient computing systems, addressing issues related to architecture, systems and networking, measurement and modeling, language and compiler design, and embedded systems. HotPowerâ08 will be co-located with OSDIâ08. |

| Dates: | December, 9, 2008 |
| Location: | Madrid, Spain |
| Contact Email: | acb@cs.princeton.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| The 3rd International Workshop on Real Overlays And Distributed Systems (ROADS) seeks papers on the challenges in building large-scale distributed systems and networking overlays. ROADS is a place to share new experiences, and work in progress, with an emphasis on systems that actually run in the wide-area Internet. We encourage submissions of early work containing novel and interesting ideas. We envision ROADS as a forum where participants can receive early feedback on the design and implementation of systems that may later form the core of conference submissions. |

| Contact Email: | muli@il.ibm.com |
| Synopsis: |
| Join us in San Diego, CA, December 10â11, 2008, for the First Workshop on I/O Virtualization. Over the past decade, the use of virtualization technology has grown rapidly. Moreover, it is being used in a variety of places, ranging from the data center to the desktop. Although this has spurred great advances in processor and memory virtualization in commodity hardware and virtualization software, I/O virtualization has received far less attention. This workshop is meant to provide a forum to discuss challenges of I/O virtualization that span the virtual machine monitor, guest operating system, processor, memory subsystem, and I/O subsystem. |

| Contact Email: | serpanos@ece.upatras.gr |
| Synopsis: |
| Opportunities and challenges for realizing highly complex, efficient and dependable business and control systems have been steadily increasing, driven by the growth in the power, intelligence, adaptiveness and openness of technologies applied in computing, communication and control systems. Dynamic social and economic situations demand the next-generation of systems to be based on adaptive and reusable technologies and applications and to have the characteristics of living systems composed of largely autonomous and decentralized systems (ADS). ISADS 2009 will cover all topics of the ADS concept, technologies and applications and will focus on networked embedded systems. The topics are described at: http://www.ece.upatras.gr/isads2009/ |
NSDI 2009 | |
| Title: | Sixth USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '09) |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2008-10-03 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-10-10 |
| Webpage: | http://www.usenix.org/event/nsdi09/ |
| Dates: | April, 22-24, 2009 |
| Location: | Boston, MA, USA |
| Contact Email: | nsdi09chairs@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 communityâincluding communication, distributed systems, and operating systemsâto foster a broad approach to addressing our common research challenges. |
NEW THIS MONTH! | HotMobile 2009 |

| Synopsis: |
| The Tenth Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (HotMobile) continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. |
HotPar 2009 | |
| Title: | First USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics In Parallelism |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-10-17 |

| 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. |

NEW THIS MONTH! | CFP: ACM SIGOPS OSR Special Issue |
| Title: | Call for Papers: ACM SIGOPS Operating System Review: Special Issue on the Interaction among the OS, Compilers, and Multicore Processors |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-11-01 |
| Webpage: | http://www.cs.virginia.edu/kim/publicity/osr09/ |
| Dates: | |
| Location: | |
| Contact Email: | mzahran@acm.org |
| Synopsis: |
| The interaction among operating systems, compilers, and multicore processors is becoming more tightly bound and sophisticated. The tremendous advances in process technology are providing architects and microarchitects with many interesting opportunities for making use of the huge transistor budget to enhance performance and increase throughput. However, system software is becoming more complex and difficult to scale. Therefore, a pressing need exists for innovative techniques to redefine the interaction among the three major entities in modern computer systems: the operating system, the compiler, and multicore processors. |
