The Nineteenth ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles will be held at Bolton'sLanding, Lake George, New York, October 19-22, 2003. For over 30 years SOSP has been theleading forum for innovative research in operating systems. Like its predecessors, SOSP2003 will bring together researchers from around the world to present and discuss thelatest results. In addition to such traditional topics as the performance, functionality,and security of kernels, file systems, and networks, this year's conference will placeincreasing attention on such emerging topics as ubiquitous and mobile computing, sensornetworks, overlay and peer-to-peer communications, and power management. Particularlynoteworthy papers will be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Computer Systems for possiblejournal publication. There will also be poster and work-in-progress sessions for thepresentation of promising preliminary work.This proposal requests funding to support the attendance of 20 US-based graduate students.Participation in leading conferences is an extremely important part of the graduateschool experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers andto be exposed to leading edge work. The support requested in this proposal will makepossible the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend.
