This page is for authors who have had material accepted to present at NSDI '09. If you wish to submit a paper or deliver a talk at another upcoming USENIX event, please return to the Events Calendar page and select the conference in which you're interested.

Accepted authors, please read this page!
1. Register for the symposium as soon as possible! Registration materials will be online soon. Please note: If the conference registration poses a hardship for the presenter, please contact conference@usenix.org. If you need an invitation letter to apply for a visa to attend the conference, please contact conference@usenix.org. Please identify yourself as a paper author and include your mailing address in your email.

2. Electronic versions—PDF and HTML—of your paper and a fax number for at least one author are due on or before 25 February 2009. This is a firm deadline. Papers not received by that date will not be included in the printed symposium proceedings.

Email the PDF and HTML files of your paper and your fax number to jel@usenix.org. USENIX will fax a printout of your paper to you, sending you email notification of the fax. Be prepared to confirm the printout or supply a corrected file by 26 February. You should send the consent forms by fax or email to the address indicated on the form.

4. IMPORTANT: Read these instructions on generating PDF from LaTeX and follow them carefully. You will save a lot of time and hassle at the deadline. Naively produced PDFs may contain such errors as incorrect ligatures, nonprinting figures or parts of figures, or incorrect or missing special characters, any of which make your paper unreadable.

5. Need advice about generating HTML? See these Tips for Conversion from LaTeX to HTML.

6. If you wish, make use of these sample first pages (two-column format):

LaTeX, a style file, and a bibtex file.
