Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs)
Tuesday, October 24, 2000, 4:00 pm—5:30 pm
OSDI 2000 will include a session of brief Work-in-Progress presentations of new, promising work not previously published. A Work-in-Progess talk is an ideal way of obtaining early feedback on new research ideas from experts in your field of research. This can be particularly valuable for graduate students early in their research. People interested in presenting their work at this session should follow the submission instructions. The Work-in-Progress session is being organized by Andrew Myers.

Poster Session
Tuesday, October 24, 2000, 6:00 pm—8:00 pm
OSDI 2000 will include an evening poster session. Poster topics will chosen that appear to be of interest to the attendees and that will generate lively discussions. A poster is an ideal way to present your ongoing work in a more structured manner than a Work-in-Progress talk, yet one that makes for easy interaction and discussion. You might consider providing an overview of some of your recent work, or describing one aspect in more detail, or using the opportunity to get feedback on work you are thinking about starting. People interested in presenting their work at this session should follow the submission instructions. The poster session is being organized by Fred Douglis.
