  • USENIX Security '25: 34th USENIX Security Symposium
    August 13, 2025–August 15, 2025, Seattle, WA, United States

    Paper submissions due: September 5, 2024 - 3:59 am

    The USENIX Security Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security and privacy of computer systems and networks. The 34th USENIX Security Symposium will be held on August 13–15, 2025, in Seattle, WA, USA.

    All researchers are encouraged to submit papers covering novel and scientifically significant practical works in computer security.

  • NSDI '25: 22nd USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation
    April 28, 2025–April 30, 2025, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Fall paper titles and abstracts due: September 12, 2024 - 8:59 pm

    NSDI focuses on the design principles, implementation, and practical evaluation of networked and distributed systems. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the networking and systems community to foster a broad approach to addressing overlapping research challenges.

    NSDI provides a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further the knowledge and understanding of the networked systems community as a whole, continue a significant research dialog, or push the architectural boundaries of network services.

  • FAST '25: 23rd USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies
    February 25, 2025–February 27, 2025, Santa Clara, CA, United States

    Paper submissions due: September 17, 2024 - 11:59 pm

    The 23rd USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '25) brings together researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of systems related to storage. The program committee interprets storage-related systems broadly: submissions on low-level storage devices, distributed storage systems, information and data management, as well as other systems interconnected with storage are all of interest. The conference will consist of technical presentations including refereed papers and poster sessions.

  • USENIX ATC '25: 2025 USENIX Annual Technical Conference
    July 7, 2025–July 9, 2025, Boston, MA, United States

    Abstract registrations due: January 7, 2025 - 3:59 pm

    The 2025 USENIX Annual Technical Conference seeks original, high-quality submissions that improve and further the knowledge of computing systems, with an emphasis on implementations and experimental results. We are interested in systems of all scales, from small embedded mobile devices to data centers and clouds. The scope of USENIX ATC covers all practical aspects related to computer systems, including but not limited to: operating systems; runtime systems; parallel and distributed systems; storage; networking; security and privacy; virtualization; software-hardware interactions; performance evaluation and workload characterization; reliability, availability, and scalability; energy and power management; and bug-finding, tracing, analyzing, and troubleshooting.

    We value submissions more highly if they are accompanied by clearly defined artifacts not previously available, including traces, original data, source code, or tools developed as part of the submitted work. We particularly encourage new ideas and approaches.

    Submissions must contain original unpublished material that is not under review at any other forum, including journals, conferences, and workshops with proceedings. They will be judged on relevance, novelty, technical merit, correctness, and clarity. An idea or a design that the PC deems flawed can be grounds for rejection. USENIX ATC '25 will employ double-blind reviewing. Papers that are not properly anonymized may be rejected without review.
