Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs)
Friday, June 29, 4:00 pm–5:30 pm
Short, pithy, and fun, Work-in-Progress reports introduce interesting new or on-going work. If you have work you'd like to share or a cool idea that's not quite ready for publication, send a one- or two-paragraph summary to usenix01wips@usenix.org. We are particularly interested in presenting students' work. A schedule of presentations will be posted at the conference and the speakers will be notified in advance. WiPs are five-minute presentations; the time limit will be strictly enforced.
AFS Workshop
Tuesday, June 26

AFS is seeing a flurry of development in the wake of it being open-sourced, and ARLA is becoming a viable, stable project. There is more change in the AFS community than has been seen in recent years.

The AFS workshop is the perfect place to discuss with other AFS-interested folks the current and future progress of AFS. Attendees are expected to suggest topics of discussion—these may be as developed as a mini-talk or as simple as questions for the group. Topics discussed may direct AFS's future progress.

The workshop will be coordinated by Esther Filderman [Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center], Derrick Brashear [Carnegie Mellon University], and Ted McCabe [Massachusetts Institute of Technology]. Both Derrick and Ted are on the OpenAFS Council of Elders, the advising board for OpenAFS development.

Interested in attending the workshop? Send email to afs-workshop@psc.edu suggesting a topic for discussion. All workshop attendees must be registered for the Annual Technical Conference.
