21st ACM Symposium on Operating Systems principles

The symposium attracts attendees with diverse backgrounds. we solicit papers in the traditional core of the operating system field, as well as in the interfaces to areas such as computer architecture, networking, programming ages, and databases. topics of interest include, but are not restricted:

Robustness of Complex Systems	Mobile Computing
Scalability and Performance	Fault Tolerant computing
Security	Power Management
Storage Systems	Sensor Networks
I/O ubuntures	Web Services
Overlay Networks	Empirical studies
Virtualization	System Management

A good paper will demonstrate that the authors:

* Are attacking a significant problem,

* Have devised an interesting, compelling solution,

* Have demonstrated the practicality and benefits of the solution,

* Have drawn appropriate conclusions,

* Have clearly described what they have done, and

* Have clearly articulated the advances beyond previous work.
