MobiSys 2010: 8th Annual International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications and Services
Jointly sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE and the USENIX Association
June 14–18, 2010, San Francisco, CA

MobiSys 2010 will continue the tradition of publishing top-notch research papers dealing with all aspects of mobile systems. MobiSys seeks papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations.

Abstracts due: December 4, 2009  Deadline Approaching!

TaPP '10: 2nd USENIX Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance
Co-located with FAST '10
Sponsored by USENIX in cooperation with ACM SIGOPS and ACM SIGPLAN

February 22, 2010, San Jose, CA

Provenance, or meta-information about computations, computer systems, database queries, scientific workflows, and so on, is emerging as a central issue in a number of disciplines. We hope to attract serious cross-disciplinary, foundational, and highly speculative research and to facilitate needed interaction with the broader systems community and with industry. See the Call for Papers for details.

Submissions due: December 14, 2009  Deadline Approaching!
