EuroSys2010, the European Conference on Computer Systems, seeks papers on all aspects of computer systems, especially ones that bridge traditionally disjoint areas. All areas of operating systems and distributed systems are of interest, including:
Papers should report, where possible, on the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of such systems. In addition, we expect to reserve one session exclusively for "experience papers", reflecting on the use or the lack of use of earlier concepts. For such papers, evaluation and lessons learned will be more important than novelty. Authors have to designate their paper as a regular or an experience one.
Papers are reviewed by the programme committee, with the help of outside referees. Papers will be accepted primarily for their impact on the Systems community, and for bridging gaps between different communities. Novelty, clarity of explanation and thorough evaluation are additional criteria. Acceptance may be provisional, subject to further shepherding by a member of the program committee before final acceptance.
Papers will be allowed 14 pages in the proceedings. Still, the submission may not exceed 12 pages double column, including everything (i.e., figures, tables, references, appendices, etc.), and should use a 10pt font; a latex style file is available from the submission site. No changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed from those specified by the style file. Papers that violate the submission guidelines will be automatically rejected without consideration of their merit.
Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty and fraud. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets ACM guidelines should contact the program chair.
EuroSys2010 welcomes submissions and attendance from all over the world. To encourage diversity, any single author may submit at most three papers. Papers authored by program committee members are held to a significantly higher standard, and their number in the final program is severely restricted. Since reviewing is not double blind, authors should include their affiliation information and full, non-anonymized references.
Awards will be given for the best paper and the best paper for which a student is the lead (and first) author.
