---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 1 Aug 2003 09:28:07 -0800 From: Alex Walker <alex@usenix.org> To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: [9fans] Call for Papers - 6th Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI '04) The 6th Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI '04) will take place December 6-8, 2004 at the Renaissance Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco, California, and we would like to encourage your participation. OSDI 2004 will bring together professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds in what has become a premier forum for discussing the design, implementation, and implications of systems software. Paper submissions are due on May 14, 2004. This is a hard deadline -- no extensions will be given. Submission guidelines are available on our Web site: http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi04/cfp Emphasizing both innovative research and quantified experience, OSDI takes a broad view of the systems area and solicits contributions from all fields of systems practice including, but not limited to: operating systems, networking, file and storage systems, distributed systems, mobile systems, secure systems, embedded systems, and the interaction of hardware and software development. We particularly encourage contributions containing highly original ideas or groundbreaking results that push the frontier of systems research. The symposium will consist of 2.5 days of single-track technical sessions with presentations of refereed papers and a keynote address. A session of Work-in-Progress presentations is planned, and informal Birds-of-a-Feather sessions may be organized by attendees. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
