General Information
This workshop aims to increase the chance of getting European Systems
papers accepted at a major conference. This first edition focuses on
PhD students preparing a forthcoming submission, e.g. to OSDI. It
includes an intensive online paper preparation period, followed by a
full-day, hands-on physical meeting, hosted at the EuroSys 2006
conference
http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/conference/EuroSys2006/.
The workshop will provide a forum for students to explain their PhD
work, discuss different ways of presenting it, and receive feedback
from peers as well as experts in the field. We will try to provide
input and guidance to a submission to an upcoming Systems conference,
preferably OSDI 2006, focusing more on organization, presentation and
writing of the paper, and less on the technical issues.
Throughout the preparation period, a shepherd will be assigned
to work with each group of authors. The shepherd will give feedback
about the structure and presentation of the work. During the meeting,
papers will be presented and discussed critically. The meeting will
also offer a panel discussion on writing technical papers.
The workshop is by invitation, with numbers limited in order to work
effectively. Invitations will be based on applications
received in response to this call. We anticipate most participants
will be PhD students at European institutions working on the paper
topic since at least one year. We will also consider applications from
junior faculty and from students outside Europe.
If you would like to participate then you should submit the following:
(a) A short outline (no more than 500 words) of your proposed paper,
describing the main research challenges and your new ideas for solving
them. (b) A letter of recommendation from your advisor.
Submissions
Submissions should be in plain text (no attachments; simple ASCII text
in the body of your message), in English, and submitted by email to
rodrigo.rodrigues@inesc-id.pt. Expect a confirmation of the reception
of your submission. Please include information about how far along you
are in your Ph.D. program, and forthcoming conferences where you
intend to submit this work. Your advisor should send his or her
statement directly in a separate email containing your name in the
subject line.
