Call for Papers: 3rd Workshop on Real, Large Distributed Systems
(WORLDS '06)
November 5, 2006, Seattle, WA
http://www.usenix.org/worlds06/cfpb
WORLDS is sponsored by the USENIX Association
Submissions Deadline: July 7, 2006
----------------------------------------------

The Third Workshop on Real, Large Distributed Systems (WORLDS '06)
will take place November 5, 2006, in Seattle, WA, and we would like to
encourage your participation.

WORLDS '06 will bring together people who are exploring the new
challenges of building widely-distributed networked systems and who lean
toward the "rough consensus and running code" school of systems building.

Paper submissions are due on July 7, 2006. Submission guidelines are
available on our Web site: http://www.usenix.org/worlds06/cfpb

“Workshop” means the emphasis is on focused, fresh ideas and experience.
Talks will be kept short (about 15 minutes long) to leave plenty of time
for discussion. Attendance will consist of contributors to the workshop
and a subset of the OSDI attendees, with the number of non-contributors
limited to encourage lively discussion.

“Real” means that the workshop will concentrate on systems designed to
run on a real platform for a long period of time. Such systems might be
research projects, teaching exercises, or more permanent services, but
they should address technical issues of actual widely distributed
systems. We also welcome papers that explore how well results obtained
from simulation or testbed deployments retain validity when transferred
to more representative network environments.

“Large” refers to the numeric and geographic dimensions of the system:
WORLDS emphasizes distributed systems that span the globe and are spread
over vastly many sites.

WORLDS is a place to share new ideas, experiences, and work in progress,
with an emphasis on the specific challenges that system designers and
researchers must address to run software over a wide area.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
