Overview
The Linux community is expanding at an ever increasing pace. ALS is a forum
that brings together both experts and peers in our field. ALS will feature
three conference tracks over three days with 40 speakers discussing the
technical and business issues concerning the Linux Operating System. We invite
you to submit paper proposals to enhance the invited talks, tutorials, and
Birds-of-a-Feather sessions.
Topics
ALS is seeking papers that demonstrate Tools, Tutorials, or Case Studies in the
areas of:
- Kernel
- Program Development
- Networking
- Applications
- Business Solutions
- Usability
- Security
- Unusual Applications
What to Submit
Papers should contain 1500 to 5000 words. After acceptance, papers may be
edited for clarity and temporal changes until September 8, 1999.
Accepted papers will be shepherded through an editorial review process by a
member of the program committee.
Selected papers will be included in the Conference proceedings, and at least
one author will present the paper at the Showcase. Paper presentations will
have approximately one hour including Q&A. Conference proceedings containing
all papers will be distributed to attendees and will also be available from
USENIX once the conference ends. We also ask that, if possible, copies of
presentation slides be made available for wider distribution.
Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms are not acceptable, and
will be returned unread.
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance for travel and accommodations is available. ALS requests
that if your employer or other sponsor can cover some or all of these expenses,
they do so. All speakers will receive free admission to the Showcase and an
invitation to the welcome dinner Wednesday evening.
