As always: the quality of the program<br>is excellent: we had a record number of submissions this year (230!),<br>and accepted 41 amazing papers for presentation. This year’s program<br>has an emphasis on distributed systems, with over a quarter of the<br>papers on that topic. Of course, the program also spans<br>the breadth of computer systems’ research, from security to<br>programming languages to networking to virtualization. Papers<br>include:<br>- netmap: A novel framework for fast packet I/O<br>- Software Techniques for Avoiding Hardware Virtualization Exits<br>- Erasure Coding in Windows Azure Storage<br><br>And, as always: there are USENIX’s world-famous Birds-of-a-Feather<br>Sessions and Hallway Track where you can rub elbows with leaders in<br>multiple disciplines: the USENIX Annual Technical Conference is being<br>held concurrently with:<br>- Web Application Development (WebApps’12),<br>- Hot Topics in Cloud Computing (HotCloud’12),<br>- The Women in Advanced Computing Summit (WiAC’12),<br>- The USENIX Configuration Management Workshop (UCMS’12),<br>- Hot Topics in Cyberlaw (Cyberlaw’12),<br>- Hot Topics in Storage and File Systems (HotStorage’12),<br>- The Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP '12), and<br>- The USENIX/ACM Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR’12)<br><br>Please tell your colleagues about this unique opportunity to obtain<br>the latest information on these fascinating subjects. We hope to see<br>you there!<br><br>WHAT: USENIX Annual Technical Conference 2012 (ATC ‘12)<br>WHEN: June 13-15, 2012<br>WHERE: Boston, MA, Sheraton Boston Hotel<br>HOW: Register at <a href="https://www.usenix.org/conference/fcw12/">https://www.usenix.org/conference/fcw12/</a><br><br></div><div>---------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><br></span>
