[Planetlab-users] Call for Papers: PlanetLab Special Topics Issue for SIGOPS OSR (second announcement)

[Marc E. Fiuczynski]

Starting with the January 2006 issue, the publication policy of the ACM
SIGOPS Operating Systems Review is changing.  In particular, each issue will
be organized around a theme and submissions will be solicited for that
theme.

The first special topics issue will be related to PlanetLab and Marc
Fiuczynski (mef at cs.princeton.edu) will be the guest editor.  For this issue,
we seek submissions on all aspects related to PlanetLab. Topics of interest,
but not limited to, include:

- Mature long-running services currently operating on PlanetLab

- Management tools that ease the deployment of PlanetLab slices

- Network measurement tools

- Infrastructure services

- Debugging and monitoring related to PlanetLab

- Resource management, discovery, etc.

Papers will be evaluated by a review committee.  The primary criteria for
acceptance will be clarity of explanation and relationship to PlanetLab.
This special issue does not have a predefined format or a target number of
accepted papers, but there is a soft cap of roughly 84 pages of text devoted
to papers.  Papers should be double column including figures and tables in
standard ACM format and submitted in printable postscript or pdf.

If you are interested in submitting to this issue of OSR, please send email
to mef at cs.princeton.edu with a brief description of your submission by
November 18th 2005. The final submission will be due on Monday November 21st
2005.
