Dear Colleague:

We are writing to invite you to NSDI '06: 3rd Symposium on Networked Systems Design & Implementation, May 8–10, 2006, in San Jose, CA.

NSDI '06 focuses on the design principles of large-scale distributed and networked systems. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the systems and networking communities to foster cross-disciplinary approaches and to address shared research challenges.

We received 110 technical submissions, and from these the NSDI '06 Program Committee selected 28 papers for inclusion in the symposium. The resulting program includes a diverse collection of creative and well-developed papers in areas including wide-area distributed services, new network architectures, and measures of deployed systems. In addition, NSDI '06 will feature a poster session where attendees can learn more about the leading edge of networked systems design by talking with researchers who are presenting their current work in its formative stages.

Please join us for this exciting symposium presenting the best of current networked systems research and practice. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,

Larry Peterson, Princeton University
Timothy Roscoe, Intel Research
