HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER TO THE GENERAL SESSION REFEREED TRACK

All submissions for USENIX 2001 will be electronic, in Postscript or PDF.

Authors will be notified of receipt of submission via email. If you do not receive notification, contact usenix01chair@usenix.org.

Papers should be 8 to 12 single-spaced 8.5 x 11 inch pages (about 4000-6000 words), not counting figures and references. Papers longer than 14 pages and papers so short as to be considered extended abstracts will not be reviewed.

It is imperative that you follow the instructions for submitting a quality paper. Specific questions about submissions may be sent to the program chairman via email to usenix01chair@usenix.org. A good paper will demonstrate that the authors:

• are attacking a significant problem
• are familiar with the literature
• have devised an original or clever solution
• if appropriate, have implemented the solution and characterized its performance using reasonable experimental techniques
• have drawn appropriate conclusions from their work

Note: the USENIX Technical Conference, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers not be submitted simultaneously to more than one conference or publication, and that submitted papers not be previously or subsequently published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a matter of policy and in accord with the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976.

Authors will be notified by January 31, 2001. Some accepted papers will be shepherded by a program committee member through an editorial review process prior to publication in the proceedings.
