Call for Papers
SYSTOR 2012, the 5th annual international systems and storage conference, promotes experimental and practical computer systems research encompassing (though not limited to) the following topics:
operating systems, computer architecture, and their interaction
distributed, parallel, and cloud systems
networking, mobile, wireless, peer-to-peer, and sensor systems
runtime systems and compiler/programming-languages support
energy/power management
file and storage systems
security, privacy, and trust
virtualization
embedded and realtime systems
fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
deployment, usage, and experience
performance evaluation and workload characterization

SYSTOR attempts to combine high-quality international systems research of practical nature with interactions between the relevant industry and academia communities. We therefore solicit paper submissions in four separate tracks:
Full research papers, reporting original, previously unpublished high-quality research, using not more than 12 pages (see formatting rules below). Submitted papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers will be presented in the conference and included in the conference proceedings, published by ACM.
Short research papers, reporting original, previously unpublished work for which a full paper may not be suitable. Short paper submissions may include, for example: smaller ideas that can be fully expressed in half the space of a full-length paper; unconventional ideas at a preliminary stage of development; interesting negative results; experimental (in)validation of previous findings; controversial positions that challenge the common wisdom; and fresh approaches for addressing old problems. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages. They will undergo the same review process as full papers. If accepted, short papers will be allocated a shorter talk slot during the conference and will also be published in the conference
