-------- Original Message -------- Subject: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting (NSDI'05 Call For Papers) Date: Wed, 5 May 2004 16:12:31 -0700 From: Geoff Voelker voelker@CS.UCSD.EDU Reply-To: Geoff Voelker voelker@CS.UCSD.EDU To: SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE@ACM.ORG

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI'05) May 2-4, 2005 Boston, Massachusetts, USA http://www.usenix.org/nsdi05/cfpa Sponsored by USENIX, in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGOPS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NSDI '05 focuses on the design principles of large-scale networks and distributed systems. Systems as diverse as scalable Web services, peer-to-peer file sharing, sensor nets, and distributed network measurement share a set of challenges. Progress in any of these areas requires an 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 operating systems, distributed systems, and computer networking--to foster cross-disciplinary approaches to our shared research challenges. NSDI will provide a high-quality, single-track forum for presenting new results and discussing ideas that are relevant to these disciplines.

The NSDI '05 Program Committee seeks a broad variety of work that furthers the knowledge and understanding of the networking and systems community as a whole, continues a significant research dialog, or pushes the architectural boundaries of large-scale network services. We solicit papers describing original, previously unpublished research. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Routing, transport, and signaling protocols and services * Scalable techniques for high availability and reliability * Design and implementation of high-speed packet classification and transformation algorithms * Security and robustness of networked systems * Novel architectural approaches, e.g., for specific application domains * Network measurements, workload and topology characterization * Autonomous and self-configuring network, system, and overlay management * Network virtualization and resource management * Distributed storage, caching, and query optimization * Algorithms for distributed systems * Operating system support for scalable network services * Application experiences, e.g., in sensor networks, peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, pervasive computing, and content distribution

Do you have interesting work in progress you would like to share? Poster sessions are for you! Poster sessions introduce new or ongoing work. The NSDI audience provides valuable discussion and feedback. We are particularly interested in presentations of student work. To submit a poster, please send a proposal, one page or less, by March 29, 2005, to the poster session coordinator at nsdi05posters@usenix.org. We will send back decisions by April 15, 2005.

Important Dates:

-- Paper titles and abstracts due: October 8, 2004 -- Final paper submissions due: October 15, 2004 -- Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2005 -- Papers due for shepherding: March 11, 2005 -- Final papers due: March 29, 2005 -- Poster proposals due: March 29, 2005 -- Poster notification: April 15, 2005

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

About SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE

The SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE mailing list is intended to provide a low-volume channel that provides operating systems researchers and practitioners with information about upcoming events or other important announcements. In general, a message containing a group of such announcements will be sent about once per month with the subject line "SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE monthly posting". On rare occasions, announcements of particular interest or urgency will be sent out with a different subject line, starting with "SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting" (for readers who wish to use mail filtering programs). Finally, this mailing list is made available for use by publicity chairs of SIGOPS-sponsored conferences and the SIGOPS officers.
