11th ACM SIGOPS Asia-Pacific Workshop on Systems (APSys 2020)

https://www.ci.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/apsys2020/
August 24-25, 2020

* IMPORTANT NOTICE
The health and safety of all workshop participants are our first priority.
After evaluating the current COVID-19 situation, we decided that APSys 2020 will be
held as a virtual conference on August 24-25, 2020.
The workshop proceedings will be published as planned. 

* Call for Papers
The 11th ACM SIGOPS Asia-Pacific Workshop on Systems will be held in
Tsukuba, Japan. Building on the success of its predecessors, APSys
2020 will continue to be a lively forum for systems researchers and
practitioners across the world to meet, interact, and collaborate with
their peers from the Asia/Pacific region.

APSys takes a broad view of systems. This includes operating systems,
virtualization, storage systems, distributed systems, mobile and
embedded systems, cloud and data center systems, edge computing,
data/graph analytics, networking, security and privacy, dependability,
debugging, and manageability, as well as new systems contributions
influenced by other fields such as hardware architecture, programming
languages, machine learning and AI, databases, verification, social
organization, and cryptocurrency.

The workshop favors works with an experimental flavor such as
measurement and prototyping.

* Submission Guidelines
Submissions should have six or fewer pages of technical content,
including all text, figures, tables, appendices, etc., formatted in
standard ACM two-column conference style with 10-pt font
size. Bibliographic references are not included in the 6-page
limit. Reviewing will be double-blind: no author or affiliation
information should appear in the submission. The authors should
additionally follow the best practice in order not to disclose their
identities implicitly. A submission may present preliminary results,
propose a new research direction, provide insightful retrospective, or
offer a provocative viewpoint on an important systems topic. Papers
will be selected based on their likelihood of generating insightful
technical discussions at the workshop and influencing future systems
research. Relevant attributes include originality, technical merit,
clarity, and technical relevance. Accepted papers will appear in the
proceedings of the workshop, which will be published in the ACM
Digital Library. Consistent with standard scholarly practice, the
authors should not have substantially similar work in review anywhere
else.

Submissions can be made online at the APSys 2020 submission site.
https://apsys20.hotcrp.com/.
