In the tradition of its predecessors, the Seventh Workshop on Hot
Topics in Operating Systems will bring together participants from
academia and industry to exchange ideas and insights relevant to
operating systems. We seek broad participation, both by members of
the OS community as well as by application developers and users who
have useful feedback for OS designers and implementors.
Topics of interest include classic OS areas such as virtual memory,
networking, file systems, process management, performance evaluation,
real-time considerations and security. In addition, we hope that the
workshop will expose innovative ideas and stimulate dialog in emerging
areas such as power management, wireless communication, quality of
service, safe extensibility, application-aware resource management,
and predictive caching and execution.
To ensure a productive workshop environment, attendance will be
limited to about 60 participants who are active in the field. Each
potential participant should submit a position paper of 5 pages or
less that exposes a new problem, advocates a specific solution, or
reports on actual experience. Participants will be invited based on
the originality, technical merit and topical relevance of their
submissions, as well as the likelihood that the ideas expressed in
their submissions will lead to insightful technical discussions at the
workshop. Please do not submit abbreviated versions of journal or
conference papers.
Online copies of the position papers will be made available via the
Web prior to the workshop. A printed proceedings, including a summary
of the interactions at the workshop, will be published and mailed to
participants after the workshop.
The IEEE Computer Society's TCOS is sponsoring a $500 award for the
best student contributor to the workshop. To be considered for this
award, please indicate that you are a student when submitting your
position paper. For multi-author papers, you should be the primary
author and the presenter at the workshop.
A small number of students will be granted free registration and
limited travel support. In return, these students will serve as
scribes: their responsibilities will include taking detailed notes of
the interactions at the workshop, and helping the program chair
prepare a digest of the proceedings. Students who wish to be
considered for this opportunity must send in a brief description of
their current research, and an explanation of how participation in the
workshop is likely to help them. These should be received by the
program chair by the submission date below.
In addition, IBM Research is providing funds to cover limited travel
expenses for a small number of student authors of position papers.
Priority will be given to authors of accepted position papers.
Students who wish to be considered for travel support should indicate
this in a cover letter that accompanies the submitted position paper.
Send 10 copies of position papers to the program chair at the address
below (no electronic submissions, please).
