Authors are invited to submit original and innovative papers to the Refereed Papers Track of the 2013 USENIX Annual Technical Conference. We seek high-quality submissions that further the knowledge and understanding of modern computing systems, with an emphasis on implementations and experimental results.
We encourage papers that break new ground, present insightful results based on practical experience with computer systems, or are important, independent reproductions/refutations of the experimental results of prior work. USENIX ATC has a broad scope, and specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Architectural interaction
• Big data infrastructure
• Cloud computing
• Datacenter networking
• Deployment experience
• Distributed and parallel systems
• Embedded systems
• Energy/power management
• File and storage systems
• Mobile, wireless, and sensor systems
• Networking and network services
• Operating systems
• Reliability, availability, and scalability
• Security, privacy, and trust
• System and network management and troubleshooting
• Usage studies and workload characterization
• Virtualization
