EuroSys 1 is the first of a series of system conferences located in
Europe. It welcomes submissions and attendance from all over the world.
It will be held in Leuven, Belgium, April 18-21, 2006. EuroSys aims
to bring together researchers from different areas of computer systems,
who are otherwise spread over multiple conferences. As a result, we
seek papers on all aspects of computer systems. We especially seek
papers that cross the divide between areas and address:

* All areas of operating systems and distributed systems
* Systems aspects of:
- Programming language support
- Databases
- Distributed algorithms
- Middleware
- Parallel and concurrent computing
- Clusters and grids
- Mobile and pervasive computing
- Embedded computers and tiny devices
- Novel user interfaces
- Real-time computing
- Security
- Dependable computing
- Novel uses of information technology
- Management, measurement and monitoring
* Experience with existing systems
* Reproduction of previous results
* Negative results
* Early ideas

Papers should report, where possible, on the design, implementation,
analysis, evaluation, and deployment of such systems. However, at least
one session of the conference will be reserved for "idea" papers. These
papers may not be held to the same standards in terms of evaluation as
other submissions. Similarly, one session of the conference will be
reserved for "experience papers", reflecting on the use or the lack of
use of earlier concepts. For such papers, novelty of the concept is
less of an issue, but depth of evaluation is of paramount importance.
Authors may but need not designate their paper for one of these sessions.

To encourage diversity, any single author will be limited to at most two
submissions. To avoid conflict of interests, papers authored by program
committee members will be held to a significantly higher standard, and
their number in the final program will be severely restricted. Reviewing
will not be blind. Authors should feel free to include their affiliation
in the paper, and include all references in full.

Papers will be reviewed by the program committee with the help of
outside referees. The primary criterion for acceptance will be the
impact of the work on the systems community and the extent to which the
papers bridge gaps between different communities. Novelty, clarity of
explanation and thorough evaluation will be additional criteria. Papers
may be provisionally accepted, subject to further shepherding by a
member of the program committee before final acceptance. The conference
does not have a predefined format or a target number of accepted papers.
Papers will be accepted or rejected based on their merits, and the
conference will be organized in a format that accommodates the number
of papers that meet that criterion.

Papers should not exceed 14 pages double column including figures and
tables in standard ACM format. Papers that exceed this length will be
rejected without consideration of their merit. Papers must be submitted
electronically in printable postscript or pdf form. For detailed submission
instructions, refer to the submission web site.
