Operating Systems Review
Starting with the January 2006 issue, the publication policy of the
Operating System Review is changing. In particular, each issue will be
organized around a theme and submissions will be solicited for that
theme. Guest editors will often be chosen to solicit and review
submissions for a special topics issue. We are interested in having a
broad range of special topics reflecting both academic and industrial
interests. Please send suggestions for special topics issues to the
OSR editor, Jeanna Matthews (jnm@clarkson.edu).
The first special topics issue will be related to PlanetLab and Marc
Fiuczynski (mef@cs.princeton.edu) will the guest editor. For this
issue, we seek submissions on all aspects related to PlanetLab.
Topics of interest, but not limited to, include:
- Mature long-running services currently operating on PlanetLab
- Management tools that ease the deployment of PlanetLab slices
- Network measurement tools
- Infrastructure services
- Debugging and monitoring related to PlanetLab
- Resource management, discovery, etc.
Papers will be evaluated by a review committee. The primary criteria
for acceptance will be clarity of explanation and relationship to
PlanetLab. This special issue does not have a predefined format or a
target number of accepted papers, but there is a soft cap of roughly
84 pages of text devoted to papers. Papers should be double column
including figures and tables in standard ACM format and submitted in
printable postscript or pdf.
If you are interested in submitting to this issue of OSR, please send
email to mef@cs.princeton.edu with a brief description of your
submission by November 1st 2005. The final submission will be due
November 15 2005.
Continuing the PlanetLab thread, the 2nd European PlanetLab meeting
will be at EPFL in Lausanne, conveniently timed immediately after SOSP
in Brighton:
PlanetLab Everywhere - "PlanetLab - future directions"
======================================================
Call for participation in the 2nd European PlanetLab meeting hosted
jointly by EPFL and the Evergrow EU project.
Oct 27-28, 2005
Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL)
Lausanne, Switzerland
Workshop website: http://lsirwww.epfl.ch/PlanetLabEverywhere
Workshop outline: This workshop will explore several new directions to
expand PlanetLab's user base to literally every researcher or student
who wants to conduct a wide-area experiment and expand its hardware
base to every machine on the planet. Topics at this workshop include
merging clusters with PlanetLab, developments of private PlanetLab
configurations, operating PlanetLab @ HOME via Xen/VMware/Intel-VT,
and issues related to federating PlanetLab.
The goal of this meeting is to bring together users, developers, and
researches interested in these topics and develop plans to
independently or collaboratively move forward with projects to develop
working prototypes in each area. Further it is intended to let
participants discuss technical problems and exchange their experiences
to improve the quality of cooperation in the PlanetLab community.
Workshop structure: We suggest a mix of talks, panel discussions, case
study presentations, experience reports, demonstrators, and
"bird-of-a-feather" sessions. Participants are invited to submit
proposals until Oct 13, 2005
Please visit the workshop website (lsirwww.epfl.ch/PlanetLabEverywhere)
for further information.
