Authors are invited to submit papers to the 16th SOSP describing original research related to the design, implementation, and analysis of operating systems. We seek papers about systems issues on a wide range of platforms and environments, including embedded systems, network (WWW) computers, portable computers, PCs, workstations, high-performance machines, and production environments. Preference will be given to papers of unusual novelty or practicality and papers critiquing prior work or continuing a significant research dialogue. We seek a broad conference of high quality and relevance to current systems issues.
The field of operating systems is closely tied to other areas of computer science such as 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 field, but also in the interface to these and other areas. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
| WWW support and applications Multimedia support Database and transaction support Architecture / OS interface Networks and communications High-performance systems |
Mobile computing OS performance evaluation File systems and I/O Heterogeneous systems Distributed systems Reliability |
Ubiquitous computing OS structure and organization Low-power OS Parallel systems Real-time systems Security |
Blind reviewing of full papers will be done by the program committee, assisted by outside referees. Papers must use a typeface no smaller than 10 point, and be no longer than sixteen (16) 8.5x11 or A4 pages including everything (references, title page, appendices, etc.); the Program Chair will return papers exceeding these limits. Substantially identical papers must not have been published elsewhere or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The title of the paper and the authors' names and addresses, and if possible, an e-mail address for the contact author, should appear on a cover sheet accompanying the paper. Authors must NOT be identified in the paper itself, either explicitly or by reference or acknowledgement. We encourage authors to make source code available to ensure replicable results and to facilitate further research by the community.

Please send fifteen (15) copies of your paper (double sided if possible) to the Program Chair: Prof. Henry Levy, Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, 114 Sieg Hall, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-2350, USA.
Papers will be provisionally accepted subject to revision and approval by a program committee member acting as a shepherd. On acceptance, authors will be encouraged to supply an electronic version for internet access and will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release form. Papers will be published in the Proceedings, which is distributed at the Symposium and as an issue of Operating Systems Review, the ACM SIGOPS quarterly. Papers of particular merit will be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Computer Systems for consideration of publication in a special issue on operating systems.
