My Notes From Sosp13 Welcome In Addition To Awards

The ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP) is arguably the elevation conference inwards the reckoner systems area. The SOSP conference took a start alongside a welcome verbalise from the General Chair, Michael Kaminsky (Intel Labs), as well as PC Chair, Mike Dahlin (Google as well as UT Austin).

The chairs started past times thanking to the many sponsors (platinum, gold, silver, bronze level) for the conference.

This twelvemonth SOSP had 628 registrations, which made it the biggest SOSP equally of yet, alongside a 16% increase over 2011 SOSP (which was withal biggest till then). Attendance distribution to SOSP is 76% from North America, 15% Europe, as well as 11% Asia. Among those attention 42% is faculty, 42% students, as well as 15% industry. There were vii workshops on the weekend preceding the SOSP (LADIS was 1 of them), as well as 40% of attendants also attended workshops.

This year, for the kickoff time, SOSP had amount opened upwards access conference proceedings (the cost, $1100 per newspaper has been paid past times SIGOPS), as well as this proclamation got a huge applause from the audience.

Among the 150+ papers submitted, thirty papers are accepted to SOSP. There was a three circular review process, alongside a amount of 740 reviews, as well as on average 5 reviews per paper. lxx papers that brutal inwards the oculus were discussed inwards the depth PC meeting.

Three papers lead keep been awarded alongside the best newspaper awards:

  1. The Scalable Commutativity Rule: Designing Scalable Software for Multicore Processors, Austin T. Clements, M. Frans Kaashoek, Nickolai Zeldovich, Robert Morris (MIT CSAIL), Eddie Kohler (Harvard)
  2. Towards Optimization-Safe Systems: Analyzing the Impact of Undefined Behavior, Xi Wang, Nickolai Zeldovich, M. Frans Kaashoek, Armando Solar-Lezama (MIT CSAIL)
  3. Naiad: A Timely Dataflow System, Derek G. Murray, Frank McSherry, Rebecca Isaacs, Michael Isard, Paul Barham, Martin Abadi (Microsoft Research)

The accepted thirty papers were presented inside the duration of 2.5 days equally unmarried track. Each newspaper got a thirty infinitesimal fourth dimension slot for which 22-25 minutes is for presentation, as well as 5-8 minutes are dedicated to question-answering session. This twelvemonth Google-moderator tool has also been employed for taking questions from the audience, inwards add-on to walk-to-microphone questions. The tool enables the audience to vote on the questions as well as acquire the questions alongside most votes ascension to the top.

A bulk of the presentations were really skilful (which is non the illustration inwards a typical conference where a large bulk of the presentations are dull). It was clear that presenters had practiced extensively earlier the presentations, which helped them to deliver polished 22-25 minutes talks. Question-answering sessions were lively as well as at that topographic point were several insightful questions asked.

The papers as well as  presentation slides (and before long verbalise videos) are available from   http://sigops.org/sosp/sosp13/program.html

Some of my elevation picks (reflecting my prejudicies as well as inquiry interests) from the conference are equally follows:

  • The scalable commutativity rule: Designing scalable software for multicore processors
  • Dandelion: a compiler as well as runtime for heterogenous systems
  • Sparrow: distributed, depression latency scheduling
  • From L3 to seL4 what lead keep nosotros learnt inwards twenty years of L4 microkernels?
  • An analysis of facebook photograph caching
  • Towards Optimization-Safe Systems: Analyzing the Impact of Undefined Behavior
  • Transactions chains: achieving serializability alongside low-latency inwards geo-distributed storage systems
  • Consistency-Based Service Level Agreements for Cloud Storage
  • Tango: Distributed Data Structures over a Shared Log
  • There Is More Consensus In Egalitarian Parliaments
  • Naiad: A Timely Dataflow System

I volition attempt to edit/organize my notes close about of these talks as well as portion them soon. Especially the concluding 5 papers on this listing appeal a lot to me since they are to a greater extent than relevant as well as related to my inquiry interests large-scale distributed systems.

Tuesday black at that topographic point was a banquet as well as observe ceremony. Stefan Savage has been awarded alongside the 2013 Mark Weiser award. He gave a humble withal powerful talk, as well as shared personal stories close how his career has benefited a lot from interacting alongside the belatedly Mark Weiser. Two recent PhD thesis were awarded alongside the Dennis Ritchie award.

Finally, the next 5 papers lead keep been added to SIGOPS Hall of Fame:

  1. “Tenex, A Paged Time Sharing System for the PDP-10”, Daniel G. Bobrow, Jerry D. Burchfiel, Daniel L. Murphy as well as Raymond S. Tomlinson, Communications of the ACM 15(3), March 1972. 
  2. “A NonStop Kernel”, Joel Bartlett,  in Proceedings of the Eighth ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP’81), Pacific Grove, California, Dec 1981 
  3. K. Mani Chandy as well as Leslie Lamport, “Distributed Snapshots: Determining Global US of a Distributed System”, ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 3(1), Feb 1985. 
  4. Kenneth P. Birman as well as Thomas A. Joseph, “Exploiting Virtual Synchrony inwards Distributed Systems”, inwards Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP’87), Austin, Texas, Nov 1987. 
  5. Eddie Kohler, Robert Morris, Benjie Chen, John Janotti as well as Frans Kaashoek, “The Click Modular Router”, ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (TOCS), 18(3), August 2000.
