How to Submit a Paper to the Refereed Track

Authors are required to submit full papers by December 2, 1998.

Please read carefully.

We are looking for mature, full papers. Papers should be 8 to 14 single-spaced 8.5"x11" pages (about 4000-7000 words), not counting figures and references. Papers longer than 14 pages will not be reviewed. Papers so short as to be considered "extended abstracts" will not receive full consideration.

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 rubin@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
  • have drawn appropriate conclusions
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 20, 1999. Some accepted papers will be shepherded by a program committee member through an editorial review process prior to publication in the Proceedings.
