by The 5th Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI
'02) will take place December 9-11, 2002 at the Boston Park Plaza in
Boston, Massachusetts and we would like to encourage your participation.
OSDI 2002 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 17, 2002. This is a hard deadline -- no
extensions will be given. Submission guidelines are available on our Web
site: http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi02/cfp
Emphasizing both innovative research and quantified experience, OSDI
takes a broad view of what the systems area encompasses and solicits
contributions from all fields of systems practice including, but not
limited to: operating systems, networking, storage, distributed systems,
parallel systems, mobile systems, embedded systems, the influence of
hardware development on systems and vice-versa. We particularly
encourage contributions containing highly original ideas or
ground-breaking results that push the systems frontier.
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.
