Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions (BoFs) Thursday, Nov. 21, 8:00pm - 11:00pm Lead or attend a BoF! Meet with your peers! Present new work! Don't miss these special activities designed to maximize the value of your time at the conference. The always popular evening Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are very informal gatherings of persons interested in a particular topic. BoFs may be scheduled during the conference at the registration desk or in advance by contacting the USENIX Conference Dept. by email (bofs@usenix.org). BoFs are open to all attendees. Topics are announced at the conference.

Work-in-Progress Reports Thursday, Nov. 21, 4:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. Short, pithy, and fun, Work-in-Progress Reports introduce interesting new or ongoing work. If you have work you would like to share or a cool idea that's not quite ready for publication, send a one- or two-paragraph summary to cardis02wips@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. Work-in-Progress reports are five-minute presentations; the time limit will be strictly enforced. View the current list of Work-in-Progress Reports
