Authors
are invited to submit papers to the 20th SOSP reporting on original research related
to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of operating systems. We seek submissions of high
quality that significantly further the knowledge and understanding of the
systems community. In keeping with SOSP tradition, we will favor work
that explores new territory, continues a significant research dialog, or
reflects on experience with practical applications of the community's
knowledge. Papers of particular merit will be forwarded to ACM
Transactions on Computer Systems for possible publication in a special issue.
The symposium attracts attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers
in the traditional core of the OS field, as well as in the interfaces to
areas such as computer architecture, networking, programming languages, and
databases. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
Robustness of complex
systems
|
Mobile computing
|
Scalability and performance
|
Fault tolerance and high
availability
|
Security
|
Power management
|
File systems
|
Sensor Networks
|
I/O architectures
|
Support for Web systems
|
Overlay networks
|
Empirical studies
|
Submissions will be done
electronically. Detailed instructions for the submission process can be
found at the conference web site. Submitted papers must be no longer than
twelve (14) 8.5"x11" or A4 pages in a typeface no smaller than 10
point. The page limit includes everything: references, title page,
figures, appendices, etc. Additional formatting guidelines for submissions
can be found on the web page. Papers should include new contributions;
substantially identical results must not have been published previously or be
under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors must not be identified
in the submissions, either explicitly or by implication (e.g., through the
references or acknowledgments). Submissions violating these rules or the
formatting guidelines on the web page will not be considered for publication.
Blind
reviewing of full papers will be done by the program committee, with limited
use of outside referees. Papers will be provisionally accepted subject
to revision and approval by a program committee member acting as a shepherd.
On acceptance, authors will be required to sign an ACM copyright release
form. Your submission indicates that you agree to this. Papers will be
held in full confidence during the reviewing process. Authors of
accepted papers will be encouraged to supply electronic versions of their
papers, as well as source code and raw data to help others replicate and
better understand their results.
