NSDI Conference
USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design & Implementation
Mission
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 systemsâto foster cross-disciplinary approaches and to address shared research challenges.
Papers are reviewed by a 20-member TPC. Papers are 15 pages long, double-blind reviewed.
The meeting is 2.5 days, and attendance is open. The meeting currently alternates between US East Coast and US West coast, and occurs yearly in the spring.
Scope and Summary
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 We solicit papers describing original, previously unpublished research.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
