Authors are invited to submit papers to the 19th Symposium on
Operating System Principles (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:
High availability |
Mobile computing |
Scalability and performance |
Ubiquitous computing |
Security |
Power management |
File systems |
Sensor Networks |
I/O architectures |
Web support |
Overlay networks |
Multimedia systems |
Transactional support |
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. Substantially identical papers 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, assisted by 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 requirement. 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.
There will be a scholarship program to
support student registration and attendance. Details can be found on
the web site.
