Submitted by anne on January 28, 2009 - 1:47 pm

The FAST '09 poster and Work-in-Progress report submissions deadline is tomorrow, Thursday, January 29.

Posters:
Held in conjunction with a happy hour, the poster session will allow researchers to present recent and ongoing projects. The poster session is an excellent forum to discuss new ideas and get useful feedback from the community.

Posters will be selected on the following basis:
• Posters should describe work in progress, including a significant aspect that has not previously been published.
• Posters should include some form of preliminary results.
• Student submissions meeting the above criteria will be given preference; however, non-students are also encouraged to submit abstracts.

Poster abstracts must be emailed to fast09posters@usenix.org by 11:59 p.m. PST (UTC-8) on Thursday, January 29, 2009. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection via email by February 9, 2009. No reviews will be provided.

Work-in-Progress Reports:
The FAST technical sessions will include a session for Work-in-Progress reports, preliminary results, and "outrageous" opinion statements. We are particularly interested in presentations of student work.

WiP talks will be selected on the following basis:
• Submissions must describe new, interesting work, not previously presented. Untested, blue-sky, and provocative ideas are explicitly encouraged, but more developed work is also desirable.
• Submissions should represent early work that is not yet published in a refereed conference or journal.
• Student submissions meeting the above criteria will be given preference; however, non-students are also encouraged to submit abstracts.

Abstracts must be emailed to fast09wips@usenix.org by 11:59 p.m. PST (UTC-8) on Thursday, January 29, 2009.
Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by Monday, February 9, 2009. WiP presenters may also be invited to participate in the poster session to encourage extended discussion of their ideas.
