Call For Papers

SOSP 2026 (ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles) is a CCF A / CORE A* / QUALIS A1 conference held in Prague, Czech Republic on 2026-09-29. The paper submission deadline is 2026-03-26. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-07-03.

Topics SOSP takes a broad view of systems and solicits contributions from many fields of systems practice, including: operating systems, file and storage systems, distributed systems, cloud computing, mobile and edge systems, secure and reliable systems, systems aspects of big data and machine learning, embedded and real-time systems, virtualization, networking as it relates to operating systems, and management and troubleshooting of complex systems. We also welcome work that explores the interaction of computer systems with related areas such as computer architecture, networking, programming languages, analytics, verification, and databases. In keeping with SOSP tradition, we will favor work that explores new territory, continues a significant research dialogue, or reflects on experience with or measurements of state-of-the-art implementations. Submission Criteria Submissions will be judged on novelty, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. A good paper will: Motivate a significant problem; Propose and implement an interesting, compelling solution; Demonstrate the practicality and benefits of the solution; Draw appropriate conclusions; Clearly describe the paper's contributions; and Clearly articulate the advances beyond previous work. We encourage submission of groundbreaking work in significant new directions, with the understanding that the evaluation criteria for papers addressing new problems may be different from those continuing a line of work in a more established area.
