CONFERENCE TECHNICAL SESSIONS, October 12-14, 2000

Three days of technical sessions feature three parallel tracks of refereed papers and invited talks. Refereed papers are published in Proceedings which are provided free to Technical Sessions attendees in print and a CD-ROM. Papers that analyze problem areas and draw important conclusions from practical experience are especially welcome.

Hack Linux: Technical Development Track

For this refereed technical track, we seek papers on topics relating to Linux and Open Source development, including:

Kernel performance improvements and enhancements
Linux networking
Linux clustering and high availability
Ports to new hardware architectures
Low-level support infrastructures for X11, KDE, and GNOME
Embedded Linux

Selection will be based on the quality of the written submission and whether the work advances the state of the art of Linux implementation. Please see also the detailed author guidelines, including sample extended abstracts and final papers.

Use Linux: Tools and Applications Track

Paper submissions should focus on the following Linux tools and applications areas:

Development
Networking and running network services
System administration
Usability and desktop interfaces
Security
Integration and interoperability with non-Linux systems
Performance tuning

Extreme Linux: Clusters and High Performance Computing Workshop

This track is devoted to clusters using Linux which are intended to scale to hundreds or thousands of processors. Comparisons with other systems are of interest, but papers should directly address issues of Linux and scale. For a complete Call for Papers for this track, see https://www.extremelinux.org.

Cash Prizes

The USENIX Association will award cash prizes at the conference for the best paper and for the best paper by a student.

Financial Assistance

Some financial assistance is available for speakers' travel and accommodation in cases of need. All speakers will receive free admission to the conference and an invitation to the welcome dinner on Wednesday evening.
