Linux-Announce Digest #457, Volume #3 Mon, 19 Apr 99 18:13:26 EDT Contents: CONFERENCE: 17th ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles CFP (Mads Dydensborg) COMMERCIAL: Linux Journal June 1999 (Darcy Whitman) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mads Dydensborg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: CONFERENCE: 17th ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles CFP Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 21:00:37 GMT =====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE===== Note: Submission due in one month *********************************************************************** * Call for papers: 17th ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles * * * * December 12-15, 1999 * * Kiawah Island Resort, near Charleston SC * * * * http://www.diku.dk/sosp99 * * http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/SOSP99 * *********************************************************************** General chair: David Kotz, Dartmouth College Program chair: John Wilkes, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Sponsored by: ACM SIGOPS Authors are invited to submit papers to the 17th SOSP describing original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, and deployment of operating systems. We seek a broad set of high quality, relevant, interesting papers. We are soliciting submissions on a wide range of topics including resource management, security, application support, I/O, networking, user interface support, and OS-related issues for the world-wide web. Our scope spans a wide range of platforms and environments: embedded systems, mobile computers, PCs, workstations, servers, high-performance machines, and production environments - especially heterogeneous ones. The SOSP traditions will continue: we will favor work that advances the state of the art into new territory, or continues a significant research dialogue, or reflects on practical applications of the community's knowledge. We are looking for reports on newly-completed work, experience studies, and constructive critiques of prior work, as well as more speculative studies of fresh opportunities. We anticipate that many contributions will emphasize the OS community's contribution to the closely related fields of computer architecture, data communications, programming systems and languages, and applications. The Symposium attracts attendees with diverse backgrounds, and we explicitly solicit papers not only in the "traditional core" of the OS field, but also in the interface to these areas and others. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: High-availability systems OS structure and organization OS performance evaluation Security File and storage systems Processor architecture / OS interactions I/O architectures Networks and communications Low-power systems Mobile computing Parallel systems Ubiquitous computing Heterogeneous systems Multimedia support Distributed systems Database and transaction support Real-time systems World-wide web support High-performance systems Commercial deployment experience A poster session will provide an outlet for papers of unusual novelty, and we hope to see some more speculative contributions in this category. The tradition of a work-in-progress session will be continued. ** Important dates Deadline for receipt of submissions: May 17, 1999 Acceptance notification: Aug 20, 1999 Deadline for camera-ready final papers: Sep 24, 1999 More information can be found at the conference's web pages: http://www.diku.dk/sosp99 http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/SOSP99 - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
