USEBSD SIG SESSION—CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
UseBSD will be a one-day special interest group session hosted as part
of the 2004 USENIX Annual Technical Conference in Boston (June 27–July 2, 2004). The focus of UseBSD, as the name implies, will be on
showcasing ways in which creative members of the BSD community are
making use of BSD–on the desktop, in embedded applications, in
corporate data centers, in computational clusters, in business
environments, and more!
The UseBSD Program Committee solicits proposals for presentations
related to BSD-derived systems. Specific topics of interest include
but are not limited to:
- Development tools for embedded BSD
- Next-generation BSD security models
- Managing large-scale and high-availability BSD installations
- Case studies
- Scientific or commercial projects using BSD
- Using BSD in business
- Using BSD in network infrastructure and telephony
- Cluster applications using BSD
- Business models involving BSD-licensed open source
- Technologies that enable the use of BSD
- Desktop technologies
- Network patch-update systems (binary or source)
- Integration with legacy UNIX and Windows operating systems
- Organizational issues
- BSD Users Groups
- BSD advocacy—quantifying the BSD TCO/ROI advantages
- Documentation/Content Management
- Release Engineering
- Project Management
Proposals for more informal, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are also
welcome.
Submission Guidelines
In order to judge a proposal, the Program Committee requests a
submission of a 2–3-page extended abstract of the proposed
presentation. These abstracts must be submitted by January 5, 2004,
via this Web form. While formal papers are requested, they are not
required; in lieu of final papers, camera-ready copies of the slides
to be used in the presentation may be submitted by May 4, 2004.
