Work-in-Progress
Reports (WiPs)
Friday, June 29, 4:00 pm–5:30 pm
Short, pithy, and fun, Work-in-Progress reports introduce interesting new or
on-going work. If you have work you'd like to share or a cool idea that's not
quite ready for publication, send a one- or two-paragraph summary to
usenix01wips@usenix.org.
We are particularly interested in presenting students'
work. A schedule of presentations will be posted at the conference and the
speakers will be notified in advance. WiPs are five-minute presentations; the
time limit will be strictly enforced.

AFS Workshop
Tuesday, June 26
AFS is seeing a flurry of development in the wake of it being open-sourced, and
ARLA is becoming a viable, stable project. There is more change in the AFS
community than has been seen in recent years.
The AFS workshop is the perfect place to discuss with other AFS-interested folks
the current and future progress of AFS. Attendees are expected to suggest topics
of discussion—these may be as developed as a mini-talk or as simple as questions
for the group. Topics discussed may direct AFS's future progress.
The workshop will be coordinated by Esther Filderman [Pittsburgh Supercomputing
Center], Derrick Brashear [Carnegie Mellon University], and Ted McCabe
[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]. Both Derrick and Ted are on the OpenAFS
Council of Elders, the advising board for OpenAFS development.
Interested in attending the workshop? Send email to afs-workshop@psc.edu
suggesting a topic for discussion.
All workshop attendees must be registered for the Annual Technical Conference.
