Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs) Friday, December 9 2:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m., California Short, pithy, and fun, Work-in-Progress reports introduce interesting new or ongoing work. If you have work you would like to share or a cool idea that's not quite ready for publication, send a one- or two-paragraph summary to lisa05wips@usenix.org. We are particularly interested in presenting students' work. Work-in-Progress reports are five-minute presentations; the time limit will be strictly enforced.
