Overview

The first Wisconsin Systems Research Retreat will bring together students and faculty in computing systems, broadly construed. Participants will present and discuss new ideas about computer systems research and how technological advances and new applications are shaping our computational infrastructure. The retreat allows students and faculty to share their research and promote new collaboration opportunities. The event will consist of presentations 15-25 minutes in length, a poster session with refreshments, and dinner. We encourage all systems students to submit recent or ongoing work.

We solicit full papers or one-page abstracts that describe completed work, work in progress, or proposed new directions of research. Submissions may be under consideration at other venues, or even previously published. WSRS takes a broad view of systems, including operating systems, storage, networking, languages and language engineering, security, fault tolerance, and manageability.

To ensure a vigorous environment, attendance is open to anyone interested in systems research, including industrial affiliates, and faculty/students in other research areas. The review process will consider both submissions that are forward-looking and open-ended, as well as those that summarize more mature work on the verge of conference publication.

Submitting a Paper/abstract

Papers and abstracts must be received by 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, April 8th. This is a hard deadline—no extensions will be granted.

Submissions should be at a minimum a one page abstract, but may be up to a full conference paper. You can submit more than one paper.

Submissions may be accepted for a short (15 minute) or long (25 minute) presentation, a poster, or both a presentation and a poster.

To submit a paper, use the submission website.

All papers will be available online to registered attendees before the workshop. If your accepted paper should not be published prior to the event, please notify the program chair. The papers will be available online to everyone beginning on the day of the workshop, April 29, 2011.
