The goal of the fourth OSDI is to present innovative, exciting work in the systems area. OSDI brings together professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds and has become a premiere forum for discussing the design, implementation, and implications of systems software.
The OSDI symposium emphasizes both innovative research and quantified experience in the systems area. OSDI takes a broad view of what the systems area encompasses and seeks contributions from all fields of systems practice, including: operating systems, networking, distributed systems, parallel systems, mobile systems, embedded systems, and the influence of hardware developments on systems and vice-versa. We particularly encourage contributions containing highly original ideas.
