Dear Colleague:

OSDI '06 will bring together professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds in what has become a premier forum for discussing the design, implementation, and implications of systems software.

Emphasizing both innovative research and quantified experience, OSDI takes a broad view of the systems area and solicits contributions from all fields of systems practice, including but not limited to:

*operating systems *networking as it relates to OSes *file and storage systems *distributed systems *mobile systems *secure systems *embedded systems *the interaction of hardware and software development

We particularly encourage contributions containing highly original ideas or groundbreaking results that push the frontiers of systems research.

Taking place November 6-8, 2006, in Seattle, WA, the symposium will consist of 2.5 days of single-track technical sessions with presentations of refereed papers and a keynote address. A poster session and a session of Work-in-Progress reports are planned. Deadlines for posters and WiP reports will be posted by July at the OSDI Web site.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.
