INVITED TALKS, THE GURU IS IN, AND HIT THE GROUND RUNNING
Invited Talks
An invited talk discusses a topic of general interest to attendees. Unlike a refereed paper, this topic need not be new or unique but should be timely and relevant or perhaps entertaining. A list of suggested topics is available. An ideal invited talk is approachable and possibly controversial. The material should be understandable by beginners, but the conclusions may be disagreed with by experts. Invited talks should be 60–70 minutes long, and speakers should plan to take 20–30 minutes of questions from the audience.
Invited talk proposals should be accompanied by an abstract of less than one page in length describing the content of the talk. You can also propose a panel discussion topic. It is most helpful to us if you suggest potential panelists. Proposals of a business development or marketing nature are not appropriate. Speakers must submit their own proposals; third-party submissions, even if authorized, will be rejected.
Please email your proposal to lisa08it@usenix.org. Invited talk proposals are due May 20, 2008.
The Guru Is In
Everyone is invited to bring perplexing technical questions to the experts at LISA's unique Guru Is In sessions. These informal gatherings are organized around a single technical area or topic. Email suggestions for Guru Is In sessions or your offer to be a Guru to lisa08guru@usenix.org. Guru Is In proposals are due May 31, 2008.
Hit the Ground Running
This track consists of five high-speed presentations packed
into each 90-minute session. The presentations are
intended to give attendees a "brain dump" on a new
technology, new features in an existing protocol or service,
an overview of the state of the art of a technique or
practice, or an introduction to an existing technology that
is becoming more widely used.
HTGR proposals should be accompanied by an abstract of less
than one page in length describing the content of the talk.
Proposals of a business development or marketing nature are
not appropriate. Speakers must submit their own proposals;
third-party submissions, even if authorized, will be
rejected. Suggestions for desired HTGR presentations are
also welcome (if possible, accompanied by a suggestion for a speaker).
Please email your proposal to lisa08htg@usenix.org. HTGR proposals are due May 31, 2008.
