CALL FOR PAPERS
Summer 1988 USENIX Conference
June 20-24, San Francisco, California
Papers in all areas of UNIX(tm)-related research and
development are solicited for formal review for the techni-
cal program of the 1988 Summer USENIX Conference. Accepted
papers will be presented during the three days of technical
sessions at the conference and published in the conference
proceedings. The technical program is considered the lead-
ing forum for the presentation of new developments in work
related to or based on the UNIX operating system.
Appropriate topics for technical presentations include,
but are not limited to:
o Kernel enhancements o Performance analysis and tuning
o UNIX on new hardware o Standardization efforts
o User interfaces o UNIX in new application environments
o UNIX system management o Security
o The internationalization of UNIX o Software management
All submissions should contain new and interesting
work. Unlike previous technical programs for USENIX confer-
ences, the San Francisco conference is requiring the submis-
sion of full papers rather than extended abstracts.
Further, a tight review and production cycle will not allow
time for rewrite and re-review. (Time is, however,
scheduled for authors of accepted papers to perform minor
revisions.) Acceptance or rejection of a paper will be based
solely on the work as submitted.
To be considered for the conference, a paper should
include an abstract of 100 to 300 words, a discussion of how
the reported results relate to other work, illustrative fig-
ures, and citations to relevant literature. The paper
should present sufficient detail of the work plus appropri-
ate background or references to enable the reviewers to per-
form a fair comparison with other work submitted for the
conference. Full papers should be 8-12 single spaced
typeset pages, which corresponds to roughly 20 double
spaced, unformatted, typed pages. Format requirements will
be described separately from this call. All final papers
must be submitted in a format suitable for camera-ready
copy. For authors that do not have access to a suitable
output device, facilities will be provided.
Four copies of each submitted paper should be received
by February 19, 1988; this is an absolute deadline. Papers
not received by this date will not be reviewed. Papers
which clearly do not meet USENIX's standards for applicabil-
ity, originality, completeness, or page length may be
rejected without review. Acceptance notification will be by
April 4, 1988, and final camera-ready papers will be due by
April 25, 1988.
