[comp.os.research] Looking for Pointers to NFS Research and Implementation Papers

beepy@ennoyab.Eng.Sun.COM (Brian Pawlowski) (10/24/90)

I am developing a bibliography (annotated where possible) of
NFS research and implementation work. If you have published
a paper describing research work or some aspect of implementations,
I would like a pointer to the publication.

	Title
	Author(s)
	Publication
	Date
	Synopsis [Suitable for a annotated bibliography. Three
		to five sentences]
	[Optional] Contact

If your company has freely available white papers describing work
(particularly performance) I would like to include those also.

I will post the bibliography to the network. And make the bibliography
available to NFS engineers attending the upcoming Connectathon.
It is intended as an additional resource to NFS implementers.

I have been putting together a annotated bibliography in conjunction
with some work I'm doing, but think I am sure I am
missing some papers presented at some smaller conferences
and technical reports available through Universities
(only because I stumble over new ones by accident).

Thanks,
Brian Pawlowski

P.S. Also, if you you have a forthcoming paper (I know of
     one coming in forthcoming Usenix Winter Proceedings) I would 
     like pointers to those also.

If you haven't published or expect publication of a paper on NFS,
read no further.

I am putting together a bibliography listing technical papers describing
NFS work. If you have written a paper on NFS, describing either research
which made compatible extensions or which extended the protocol
to include new features (such as the Spritely NFS work), I would
like a reference. 

I am interested in papers which have used NFS as a starting
point for research.

If you have written a paper describing an implementation (not 
necessarily a product), an aspect of NFS implementations (particularly 
performance), I would like a reference.

I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN POINTERS TO PAPERS WHICH YOU EXPECT TO APPEAR
IN A PUBLICATION IN THE FUTURE (i.e. it has been accepted for publication).
If you know when it will appear.

The information I need is:

	Title of paper,
	Author name(s)
	Where published (Conference Proceedings, Journal, Magazine,
		with appropriate Volume, page numbers, etc.)
	Date of publication
	Synopsis

I would like the synopsis, as I am trying to annotate the bibliography.
No more than 5 lines.

If the paper appears in several forms (Technical Report and Conference
Proceedings) I would appreciate a pointer to all the source. If the
paper is a Technical Report from your organization, an address where
the report can be obtained from would be appreciated.

I have a growing bibliography, but believe I am missing papers
such as Tech Reports from University and Research organizations,
and possibly publicly available papers, describing such things
as performance analysis, from the industry.

I intend to provide the bibliography to engineers at the upcoming
Connectathon testing event, and will post the bibliography to this news
group. I have had more requests recently from engineers involved with
NFS who could use some definitive bibliography of papers describing
NFS... I am annotating the bibliography for the papers I've read
or have sitting in stacks around my office (and am attempting to get
to). The annotation will make the bibliography of greater use.

Thanks in advance,,

P.S. I'm still writing up a bibliography of papers known to me,
     otherwise I'd post asking for people to fill in the holes.
     Sorry.
