## Call for papers

Overview NSDI focuses on the design principles, implementation, and practical evaluation of networked and distributed systems. We bring together researchers from 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 advance the knowledge and understanding of the networked systems community, continue a significant research dialog, or push the architectural boundaries of networked services. Topics NSDI invites innovative solutions for significant problems involving networked systems, including the following topics: Cloud and multi-tenant systems Distributed storage and caching Distributed query processing systems Experience with deployed networked systems Highly available and reliable networked systems Management, debugging, and diagnosis of problems in networked systems Mobile and embedded/sensor applications and systems Network and workload measurement systems Networked systems for big data Networked systems for machine learning (ML) and ML for networked systems Security and privacy of networked systems Self-organizing, autonomous, and federated networked systems Sustainable, low-energy, and low-carbon networked systems Systems aspects of networking hardware and physical layer communication Testing and verification of networked systems Virtualization and resource management for networked systems Papers with no contributions to the design of networked systems or the networking stack are out of scope. Moreover, NSDI does not include work in the following topics: Hardware architecture: voltage scaling, GPU resource scheduling, hardware-level fault tolerance Physical layer: beamforming, modulation techniques, communication through unconventional mediums (capacitative, inductive, acoustic) Sensing and localization: gesture sensing, environment mapping, remote sensing User interfaces
