We expect most submissions to be from current PhD students who have selected a clear research topic. Research topics of interest include “systems” work in the broadest sense, including work on formal foundations, as well as the design, implementation and evaluation of real systems. Specifically, research topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Big data analytics frameworks

• Cloud computing and data center systems

• Database systems

• Dependable systems

• Distributed systems

• File and storage systems

• Language support and runtime systems

• Mobile and pervasive systems

• Networked systems

• Operating systems

• Parallelism, concurrency, and multicore systems

• Real-time, embedded, and cyber-physical systems

• Secure systems, privacy and anonymity preserving systems

• Tracing, analysis, and transformation of systems

• Virtualization systems
