We are writing to invite you to NSDI ''11, the 8th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation, which will take place March 30-April 1, 2011, in Boston, MA. http://www.usenix.org/nsdi11/proga NSDI ''11 focuses on the design principles of large-scale networks and distributed systems. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the systems and networking communities to foster cross-disciplinary approaches and to address shared research challenges. This year''s program includes 27 technical papers carefully selected out of 157 submissions. The high-quality papers represent a diverse range of hot research areas including data-intensive computing, energy and storage, debugging and correctness, and more. In addition, NSDI ''11 will feature a poster session where attendees can discuss emerging ideas in networked systems design by talking with leading researchers who are introducing their ongoing work. The submission deadline and more information will be available at: http://www.usenix.org/events/nsdi11/activities.html#poster Please join us in Boston for the latest innovative networked systems research. We look forward to seeing you there. Sincerely, David G. Andersen, Carnegie Mellon University Sylvia Ratnasamy, Intel Labs Berkeley nsdi11chairs@usenix.org P.S.
