Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions

Lead or attend a BoF! Meet with your peers! Present new work! Don't miss these special activities designed to maximize the value of your time at the conference. Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are very informal gatherings of persons interested in a particular topic.

Vendor BoFs

Want to demonstrate a new product or discuss your company's latest technologies with ATC '15 attendees? Host a Vendor BoF! These sponsored one-hour sessions give companies a chance to talk about products and proprietary technology—and they include promotional benefits. Email sponsorship@usenix.org if you're interested in sponsoring a Vendor BoF. Click here for more information about sponsorship opportunities.

Scheduling a BoF

If you have a description of your BoF you'd like posted on this Web page, please schedule your BoF on the BoF board, then send its title, the organizer's name and affiliation, and the date, time, and location of the BoF to bofs@usenix.org with "ATC '15 BoF" in the subject line.

BoF Descriptions

Examining the impact of APIs on application and storage architectures
Asheesh Asthana, Senior Product Manager, Veritas
Monday, July 6, 7:00 pm–8:00 pm, Bayshore Room

Applications rule the world. The pace and complexity of development of applications are continuing to increase, only to be held back by legacy practices and infrastructures. This session will examine the roles of public cloud, vVols, REST, Manila, and other application driven APIs and their impact on data center architectures. Beer and light refreshments will be served.

PeerJ Computer Science Journal: Introduction to a New Open Access Publishing Venue, and How to get Your Paper Published
Peter Binfield, PeerJ
Wednesday, July 8, 8:00 pm–9:00 pm, Bayshore Room

Join Peter Binfield, Co-Founder and Editor at PeerJ, an online, open access journal, to learn more about their freshly launched Computer Science publication. PeerJ Computer Science is an Open Access Publishing Partner of USENIX. Wine provided.

Harvey: GPL'ed Plan 9 Demonstration and Discussion
Ron Minnich, Google; John Floren, Sandia
Thursday, July 9, 8:00 pm-9:00 pm, Santa Clara Ballroom

In 2013 Google, UC Berkeley, and Bell Labs arranged for Plan 9 to be rereleased under the GPL.  A group of engineers in Madrid has created the Harvey project, a release of Plan 9 based on this GPL code which currently compiles using gcc, not Plan 9's proprietary compilers, and is intended to also work with clang. At this BOF, we'll demo Harvey on some real hardware, and discuss current and future plans.
