Work-in-Progress Reports
Session Chair: Chandu Thekkath, Microsoft Research

Work-in-Progress Schedule

Short, pithy, and fun, Work-in-Progress Reports introduce interesting new or ongoing work, and the USENIX audience provides valuable discussion and feedback.

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 osdi02wips@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.

Work-in-Progress Reports submissions deadline: Monday, Dec 2nd, 12 Noon PST.
