Call for Papers

We seek short (one to five page) papers on availability and reliability of all aspects of client and server system design, including embedded systems (e.g., mobile client appliances attached to the Internet), processor and memory chips, network and storage devices, cluster and SMP multiprocessing, systems software and application software. To maximize interest among both communities, preference will be given to empirical or practical studies, as opposed to formal or theoretical studies. Topics include, but are not restricted to, the following: We envision a highly interactive and interdisciplinary program, including a combination of refereed paper presentations, invited speakers, panel sessions and breakout brainstorming discussions. Given the synergistic nature of these interactions, we plan to have scribes record the discussions for inclusion in the workshop record. We will publish a loose-leaf proceedings of the short papers submitted by authors, augmented with summaries of the discussions held during the workshop. Both the final papers and discussion summaries will also be made available on a workshop website.

A small number of students will be granted free registration for serving as scribes. Their responsibilities will include taking detailed notes of the interactions at the workshop, and helping the workshop organizers prepare a digest of the proceedings. Students who wish to be considered for this opportunity should send a short statement, describing their current research and explaning how they would benefit from attending the workshop. These statements should be received by the organizers by the submission deadline below.

Please send position papers to one of the workshop organizers:

Electronic submissions are preferred, and must be in a standard format (PDF or Postscript), render without error using standard tools (Acrobat Reader or Ghostview), and print on both A4 and US-Letter sized paper.
