WASL 2008
Title: Workshop on the Analysis of System Logs 2008
Submission Deadline: 2008-09-08
Webpage: www.systemloganalysis.com
Dates: 12/7/2008
Location: San Diego, CA, USA
Contact Email: greg@bronevetsky.com
Synopsis:
System logs are a rich information source for analyzing and diagnosing system
problems and predicting future events. However, most of this information is
wasted due to their lack of organization or cross-vendor semantic consistency.
This workshop focuses on novel techniques for extracting operationally useful
information from existing logs and methods to improve the information content
of future logs. Topics: Reports on publicly available log sources Log
anonymization Log feature detection and extraction Prediction of malfunction or
misuse Statistical log characterization Log compression/comparison Methods to
enhance and standardize log semantics Diagnostic techniques Log visualization
Analysis of services (problem ticket) logs

HotPower 2008
Title: Workshop on Power Aware Computing and Systems
Submission Deadline: 2008-09-11
Webpage: http://www.usenix.org/event/hotpower08/cfp/cfp.html
Dates: December 7, 2008
Location: San Diego, CA, USA
Contact Email: hotpower08chair@usenix.org
Synopsis:
Power is increasingly a central issue in designing systems, from embedded
systems to data centers. We do not understand energy and its tradeoff with
performance and other metrics very well. This limits our ability to further
extend the performance envelope without violating physical constraints related
to power, heat generation, or cooling. This workshop provides a forum to
present the latest research and to debate directions, challenges, and novel
ideas about building energy-efficient computing systems, addressing issues
related to architecture, systems and networking, measurement and modeling,
language and compiler design, and embedded systems. HotPower 08 will be
co-located with OSDI 08.

Dates: December, 9, 2008
Location: Madrid, Spain
Contact Email: acb@cs.princeton.edu
Synopsis:
The 3rd International Workshop on Real Overlays And Distributed Systems (ROADS)
seeks papers on the challenges in building large-scale distributed systems and
networking overlays. ROADS is a place to share new experiences, and work in
progress, with an emphasis on systems that actually run in the wide-area
Internet. We encourage submissions of early work containing novel and
interesting ideas. We envision ROADS as a forum where participants can receive
early feedback on the design and implementation of systems that may later form
the core of conference submissions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

CFP: ACM SIGOPS OSR Special Issue
Title: Call for Papers: ACM SIGOPS Operating System Review: Special Issue on
the Interaction among the OS, Compilers, and Multicore Processors
Submission Deadline: 2008-11-01
Webpage: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/kim/publicity/osr09/
Dates:
Location:
Contact Email: mzahran@acm.org
Synopsis:
The interaction among operating systems, compilers, and multicore processors is
becoming more tightly bound and sophisticated. The tremendous advances in
process technology are providing architects and microarchitects with many
interesting opportunities for making use of the huge transistor budget to
enhance performance and increase throughput. However, system software is
becoming more complex and difficult to scale. Therefore, a pressing need exists
for innovative techniques to redefine the interaction among the three major
entities in modern computer systems: the operating system, the compiler, and
multicore processors.
