HotOS X Call for Papers Tenth Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems (HotOS X) June 12-15, 2005 Eldorado Hotel Santa Fe, NM Sponsored by USENIX, The Advanced Computing Systems Association In cooperation with the IEEE Technical Committee on Operating Systems (TCOS) The Tenth Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems will bring together people conducting innovative work in the systems area for three days of interaction, with all attendees being active participants and contributors throughout the workshop. Continuing the HotOS tradition, this workshop will be a place to present and discuss new ideas about computer systems and how technological advances and new applications are shaping our computational infrastructure. We request submissions of position papers that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. HotOS takes a broad view of what the systems area encompasses and seeks contributions from all fields of systems practice, including operating systems, networking, security, ubiquitous computing, Web-based systems, biologically-inspired systems, and the influence of other fields such as hardware design, networking, economics, social organizations, and compiler developments, on systems and vice versa. We particularly encourage contributions containing highly original ideas. To ensure a productive workshop environment, attendance is limited to about 60 participants who are active in the field. We encourage submissions from practitioners as well as from researchers. Each potential participant should submit a position paper of five or fewer pages that exposes a new problem, advocates a new approach to an old idea, or reports on actual experience. Participants will be invited based on the submission's originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful technical discussions at the workshop. Please do not submit abbreviated versions of papers to be submitted within the next year to conferences or journals. Online copies of the position papers will be made available via the Web prior to the workshop. Printed proceedings, including a summary of the interactions at the workshop, will be published and mailed to participants after the workshop.

In cooperation with the IEEE Technical Committee on Operating Systems (TCOS)

The Tenth Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems will bring together
people conducting innovative work in the systems area for three days of
interaction, with all attendees being active participants and contributors
throughout the workshop. Continuing the HotOS tradition, this workshop will
be a place to present and discuss new ideas about computer systems and how
technological advances and new applications are shaping our computational
infrastructure.

We request submissions of position papers that propose new directions of
research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or
generate controversy and discussion. HotOS takes a broad view of what the
systems area encompasses and seeks contributions from all fields of systems
practice, including operating systems, networking, security, ubiquitous
computing, Web-based systems, biologically-inspired systems, and the
influence of other fields such as hardware design, networking, economics,
social organizations, and compiler developments, on systems and vice versa.
We particularly encourage contributions containing highly original ideas.

To ensure a productive workshop environment, attendance is limited to about
