The submissions deadline for the The 7th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '09) is quickly approaching. Please submit all work by 9:00 p.m. EDT, September 12, 2008.
FAST '09 brings together storage system researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of storage systems.
USENIX is pleased to be a sponsor of the The New York City *BSD User Group's NYCBSDCon 2008, taking place at Manhattan's Columbia University on October 11-12, 2008.
The technical conference will feature a dozen presentations, Birds of Feather sessions, BSD Certification exam opportunities and sponsor tables.
Much of the conference will be podcasted by BSDTalk, and FreeBSD and NetBSD developer summits/get-togethers will be happening before the conference.
This workshop hopes to provide a forum in which to present the latest research and to debate directions, challenges, and novel ideas about building energy-efficient computing systems.
WASL '08 will focus on novel techniques for extracting more information from existing logs and on methods to improve the information content of future logs.
See the Call for Papers for information on how to participate.
LISA '08 offers in-depth training by experts such as Mark Burgess on Cfengine and David N. Blank-Edelman on Over the Edge System Administration. NEW! LISA includes training tracks on Solaris and Virtualization taught by industry leaders such as James Mauro and Richard McDougall.
Yes, it's true. The SAGE Blog is back. We'll be bringing you announcements of sysadmin events as well as guest bloggers, tips and tricks, and a few sneak peaks of upcoming booklets.
Now up on the blog, the first in a 3-part series on monitoring tools by guest blogger and ;login:author, Matthew Sacks.
This year's LISA '08 conference will include a poster session. This is an opportunity to display a poster describing recent work. The posters will be on display during the conference, and fixed times will be advertised when authors should be present to discuss their work with anyone who is interested. This provides a very good opportunity to make contact with other people who may be interested in the same area. Student posters, practitioners sharing their experiences, and submissions from open source communities are particularly welcome.
