The Tenth Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems will bring
together people conducting innovative work in the systems area
for three days of interaction, with all attendees
being active participants and contributors throughout the workshop.
Continuing the HotOS tradition, this workshop will be a place to
present and discuss new ideas about computer systems and how
technological advances and new applications are shaping our computational
infrastructure.
We request submissions of position papers that propose new directions
of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new)
ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. HotOS takes a broad
view of what the systems area encompasses and seeks contributions
from all fields of systems practice, including operating systems,
networking, security, ubiquitous computing, Web-based systems,
biologically-inspired systems, and the influence of other fields
such as hardware design, networking, economics, social organizations,
and compiler developments, on systems and vice versa. We particularly
encourage contributions containing highly original ideas.
To ensure a productive workshop environment, attendance is limited
to about 60 participants who are active in the field. We encourage
submissions from practitioners as well as from researchers. Each
potential participant should submit a position paper of five or fewer
pages that exposes a new problem, advocates a new approach to an
old idea, or reports on actual experience. Participants will be
invited based on the submission's originality, technical merit,
topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful technical
discussions at the workshop. Please do not submit abbreviated
versions of papers to be submitted within the next year to conferences
or journals.
Online copies of the position papers will be made available via
the Web prior to the workshop. Printed proceedings, including a
summary of the interactions at the workshop, will be published and
mailed to participants after the workshop.
