Systems as diverse as Internet routing, peer-to-peer file sharing, sensor nets, scalable Web services, and distributed network measurement share a set of challenges. Progress in any of these areas requires an understanding of how researchers are addressing the challenges of large-scale systems in other contexts. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the networking and systems community - including computer networking, distributed systems, and operating systems - to foster cross-disciplinary approaches and to address shared research challenges. Topics NSDI will provide a high-quality, single-track forum for presenting new results and discussing ideas that affect these disciplines. We seek a broad variety of work that furthers the knowledge and understanding of the networking and systems community as a whole, continues a significant research dialogue, or pushes the architectural boundaries of large-scale network services. We solicit papers describing original, previously unpublished research. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Routing, transport, and signaling protocols and services * Scalable techniques for high availability and reliability * Design and implementation of high-speed packet classification and transformation algorithms * Security and robustness of networked systems * Novel architectural approaches, e.g., for specific application domains * Network measurements, workload and topology characterization * Autonomous and self-configuring network, system, and overlay management * Network virtualization and resource management * Distributed storage, caching, and query optimization * Algorithms for distributed systems * Operating system support for scalable network services * Application experiences, e.g., in sensor networks, peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, pervasive computing, and content distribution What to Submit Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Submissions should be full papers, 12–14 single-spaced US 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading within a 6" x 9" text block. Please number the pages on your submission, and avoid using color in figures or text. Submissions must be "blind," meaning authors must not be identified in the submissions, either explicitly or by implication (e.g., through references, affiliations, or acknowledgments). We strongly recommend that you do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, a good solution is to reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any other piece of related work. Authors must submit their paper's title and abstract by October 8, 2004, and the corresponding full paper is due by October 15, 2004. Accepted papers may be shepherded through an editorial review process by a member of the program committee. Based on initial feedback from the program committee, authors of shepherded papers will submit an editorial revision of their paper to their program committee shepherd by March 11, 2005. The shepherd will review the paper and give the author additional comments. All authors (shepherded or not) will produce a final paper by March 29, 2005, to be included in the conference Proceedings. One author per paper may take a registration discount of $200. If the registration fee poses a hardship to the presenter, USENIX can offer a complimentary registration. The NSDI conference, like most conferences and journals, does not allow submissions that are substantially similar to works that are previously published or are under review for publication elsewhere. Accepted material may not be subsequently published in other conferences or journals for one year from the date of acceptance by USENIX. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be read or reviewed. All submissions will be held in confidence prior to publication of the technical program, both as a matter of policy and in accordance with the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976. How to Submit Authors are required to submit at least an abstract by October 8, 2004, with the full papers due on October 15, 2004. All submissions to NSDI 2005 must be electronic, in PDF or PostScript, via this Web form. Authors will be notified of acceptance decisions via email by January 15, 2005. If you do not receive notification by that date, contact the Program Chairs at nsdi05chairs@usenix.org.

Overview
The NSDI conference focuses on the design principles of large-scale networks
and distributed systems. Systems as diverse as Internet routing, peer-to-peer
file sharing, sensor nets, scalable Web services, and distributed network
measurement share a set of challenges. Progress in any of these areas
requires an understanding of how researchers are addressing the challenges of
large-scale systems in other contexts. Our goal is to bring together
researchers from across the networking and systems community - including
computer networking, distributed systems, and operating systems - to foster
cross-disciplinary approaches and to address shared research challenges.

Topics
NSDI will provide a high-quality, single-track forum for presenting new
results and discussing ideas that affect these disciplines. We seek a broad
variety of work that furthers the knowledge and understanding of the
networking and systems community as a whole, continues a significant research
dialogue, or pushes the architectural boundaries of large-scale network
services. We solicit papers describing original, previously unpublished
research. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    * Routing, transport, and signaling protocols and services

    * Scalable techniques for high availability and reliability

    * Design and implementation of high-speed packet classification and
      transformation algorithms

    * Security and robustness of networked systems

    * Novel architectural approaches, e.g., for specific application domains

    * Network measurements, workload and topology characterization

    * Autonomous and self-configuring network, system, and overlay management

    * Network virtualization and resource management

    * Distributed storage, caching, and query optimization

    * Algorithms for distributed systems

    * Operating system support for scalable network services

    * Application experiences, e.g., in sensor networks, peer-to-peer
      systems, overlay networks, pervasive computing, and content
      distribution

What to Submit
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity,
relevance, and correctness. Submissions should be full papers, 12–14
single-spaced US 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references,
two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading
within a 6" x 9" text block. Please number the pages on your submission, and
avoid using color in figures or text. Submissions must be "blind," meaning
authors must not be identified in the submissions, either explicitly or by

strongly recommend that you do not omit references to provide anonymity, as
this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, a good

Authors must submit their paper's title and abstract by October 8, 2004, and
the corresponding full paper is due by October 15, 2004. Accepted papers may

Best Paper Awards
Awards will be given for the best paper and best student paper at the
conference.

Poster Session
Do you have interesting work in progress you would like to share? Poster
sessions are for you! Poster sessions introduce new or ongoing work. The NSDI
audience provides valuable discussion and feedback. We are particularly
interested in presentations of student work. To submit a poster, please send

Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions
Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) are informal gatherings organized by
attendees interested in a particular topic. BoFs will be held in the evening.
BoFs may be scheduled in advance by emailing the USENIX Conference Department
at bofs@usenix.org. BoFs may also be scheduled at the conference.

Registration Materials
Complete program and registration information will be available in February
2005 on the conference Web site. The information will be in both HTML and a
