A major mission of the USENIX Association is to provide for the creation and dissemination of new knowledge. In order to facilitate this process, USENIX allows authors to retain ownership of the copyright to their works, requesting only that USENIX be granted an exclusive right to publish for a limited period of time. The USENIX Association also wishes to allow the free reproduction of published material for educational and/or research purposes.

Therefore, the parties agree as follows:

  1. Grant of Rights to Publish. You hereby grant to The USENIX Association ("USENIX"), exclusive rights to publish the paper provisionally entitled:

    (the "Original Publication")

    and to mount the files permanently on the USENIX Web site, but may also wish to otherwise disseminate the Paper, as well as the oral presentation of the Paper (either on media or as a live broadcast), and to publish overheads or slides and audiovisual content on the USENIX Web server.

  2. Posting. During the term of the Rights, you shall not publish or grant others the right to publish or otherwise disseminate the Paper. However, you shall retain the right to post the Paper on your FTP or Web site(s) for electronic access, provided that in such event you include a notice to the effect that the Paper shall be or was first published in the Original Publication as described above.

  3. Duration of Rights. These Rights will remain in effect for 12 months following USENIX's notification to you of its acceptance of the Paper. Thereafter the Rights will remain in effect as non-exclusive rights to continue disseminating the Paper in print, electronic, and audio formats.
