Papers:
Refereed papers accepted to LISA describe new techniques, tools, theories, and inventions, and present case histories that extend our understanding of system and network administration. They present new ideas, backed by rigorous and repeatable methodology, in the context of previous related work, and can have a broad impact on operations and future research.

Accepted papers will be published in the LISA15 proceedings and conference web pages, and all accepted papers will be given a presentation and Q&A slot in the LISA15 academic research track. After acceptance, paper authors should also create a companion poster to present during the poster session to further engage with the conference attendees. Cash prizes will be awarded at the conference for the best refereed paper.

Posters:
The LISA juried posters session is a great opportunity to present your work visually, either as a companion to a refereed paper or as a standalone submission displaying work in progress. Posters present the core of your research to a wide audience, providing you with the ability to gain valuable feedback from both industry and academic audiences. Poster abstracts of 500 words or less will be published in the LISA15 Proceedings, and a link to your research website will be included in the conference web page. Additionally, cash prizes will be awarded at the conference for the best juried poster.

We hope that you will consider sharing your ongoing research with the LISA community. All paper and poster abstract submissions are due by April 17, 2015. If you have any questions beyond this CFP, please contact lisa15research@usenix.org.
