Overview

The 24th Symposium on Operating Systems Principles seeks to present exciting, original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of computer systems software. SOSP takes a broad view of the systems area and solicits contributions from many fields of systems practice, including, but not limited to, operating systems, file and storage systems, distributed systems, cloud systems, mobile systems, secure systems, embedded systems, dependable systems, system management, and virtualization.

We also welcome work that explores the interface to related areas such as computer architecture, networking, programming languages, and databases. In keeping with SOSP tradition, we will favor work that explores new territory, continues a significant research dialogue, or reflects on experience with or measurements of state of the art implementations. Papers of particular merit will be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Computer Systems for possible publication in a special issue. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. A good paper will:

• consider a significant problem
• propose an interesting
• compelling solution,
• demonstrate the practicality and benefits of the solution
• draw appropriate conclusions
• clearly describe what the authors have done
• clearly articulate the advances beyond previous work

We encourage submission of ground breaking work in significant new directions, with the understanding that evaluation criteria for papers addressing new problems may be different from those continuing a line of work in a more established area.To facilitate technical discussion all accepted papers will be made available online one month before the conference. Submissions will be done electronically. Detailed instructions for the submission process will be posted. There will be a scholarship program to support student registration and attendance.
