I needed to argue for SOSP to accept a measurement/experience paper
based on its interest-level, so I did the following:

search "Symposium and Operating and (Systems or System) and Principles or SOSP"

in other words, find the most referenced papers at a conference (ignoring
award papers, since those usually get referenced via TOCS).

scary results. on the plus side, we're 3 of the top 6 ;-)
on the downside/upside?, references to SOSP papers had been
growing exponentially, but aren't anymore ;-)
