Title:
IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications
Description:
Overview
NSDI focuses on the design principles, implementation, and practical evaluation of networked and distributed systems. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the networking and systems community to foster a broad approach to addressing overlapping research challenges.
NSDI provides a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further the knowledge and understanding of the networked systems community as a whole, continue a significant research dialog, or push the architectural boundaries of network services.
Topics
NSDI invites any innovative solution for a significant problem involving networked systems, including topics from within the following list:
- Highly available and reliable networked systems
- Security and privacy of networked systems
- Distributed storage, caching, and query processing systems
- Sustainable, low-energy, and low-carbon networked systems
- Cloud/multi-tenant systems
- Mobile and embedded/sensor applications and systems
- Systems aspects of networking hardware and physical layer communication technologies
- Network and workload measurement systems
- Self-organizing, autonomous, and federated networked systems
- Managing, debugging, and diagnosing problems in networked systems
- Virtualization and resource management for networked systems
- Experience with deployed networked systems
- Networked systems for big data
- Testing and/or verification applied to networked systems
- Networked systems for machine learning (ML) and ML for networked systems
Papers with no clear contributions to the design of systems or the networking stack will be considered out of scope.
The list of topics above is necessarily incomplete and imprecise. In its ongoing effort to adjust scope, the NSDI Steering Committee has identified a list of topics that are explicitly excluded from upcoming NSDI symposia. Papers whose core contributions are on the following topics are likely to be rejected for reasons of scope:
- Physical layer contributions: beamforming, modulation techniques, communication through unconventional mediums (capacitative, inductive, acoustic)
- Sensing and localization contributions: gesture sensing, environment mapping, remote sensing
- Architecture contributions: voltage scaling, GPU resource scheduling, hardware level fault tolerance
- User interface contributions
See the recent statement from the NSDI Steering Committee for more information about the ongoing scope adjustment process.
Authors will have the opportunity to explain why their paper is in scope for NSDI by answering the following question: What important problems or challenges in networked systems does this paper solve/address?
