Call for Participation
Fifth Workshop on
Hot Topics in Operating Systems
(HotOS-V)
(Formerly: Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems (WWOS))
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's
Technical Committee on Operating Systems and Application Environments
Orcas Island, Washington, USA
May 4-5, 1995
The Fifth Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems will bring
together researchers and practitioners in operating systems working in
a range of computing environments, including workstations, notebooks,
and hand-held computers. The purpose of HotOS-V is to examine
controversial issues in operating systems and to provide a forum for
discussing ideas and sharing information and experiences. The workshop
is designed to encourage full participation of each attendee; both
presenters and participants will be active contributors throughout the
workshop.
We request submissions of position papers that describe ongoing or
completed research and development experiences, as well as those that
propose new directions, advocate non-traditional approaches, or
generate controversy and discussion. This year's workshop will pay
special attention to issues relevant to the next generation computing
systems, including:
- Application-extensible operating systems
- Real-time, continuous media, and multimedia
- System requirements for virtual reality platforms
- OS support for embedded systems
- Distributed object frameworks
- Mobile and "ubiquitous" computing
- Mostly connected/disconnected computing
- Wireless networking
- Global information access
- Global, widely accessible, storage system
To assure a productive workshop, attendance will be limited to 60
participants active in the field. Each potential participant should
submit eight copies of a 1-5 page position paper. Submissions should
be mailed to the program chair. Contact the registration chair for
registration information.
