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 fourteen (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.
