Fellow FreeBSD'ers,
I am the program chair for AUUG 98, the Australian equivalent
of the Usenix technical conference. I have attached a call for
papers, and I would especially like to invite people
who have a technical paper relating to FreeBSD. It is likely
that we will have dedicated streams for freely available
systems like Linux, FreeBSD etc.
Cheers,
Andrew McRae (amcrae@cisco.com)

CALL FOR PAPERS
AUUG98 Conference
September 14-18, 1998
Sydney Hilton Hotel
Sydney, Australia
<http://www.auug.org.au/auug98>;
Theme: "Open Systems: The Common Thread"
The 1998 AUUG winter conference will be held at the Sydney Hilton Hotel,
New South Wales, Australia, between September 16th and 18th.
The conference will be preceded by two days of tutorials, on
September 14th and 15th.
The program committee invites proposals for papers and tutorials relating to:
o Technical aspects of Unix and Open Systems
o New developments in open software systems, languages and applications
o Networking, Internet (including the World Wide Web) and Security
o Business and Management Experience and Case Studies
o Freely available systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD etc.
The theme of this years conference is "Open Systems: The Common Thread".
The program committee will interpret the theme very broadly with the
aim of highlighting the breadth of applicability for Open Systems.
As always, papers and tutorials with a strong technical flavour are
particularly welcome.
Presentations may be given as tutorials, technical papers, or
management studies. Technical papers are designed for those who need in-depth
knowledge, whereas management studies present case studies of
real-life experiences in the conference's fields of interest. Tutorials may be
either 1/2 day or full day and have a strong practical focus.
All presentations must be accompanied by a written paper for the
conference proceedings.
Speakers may select one of two presentation formats:
* Technical presentation: a 25 minute talk,
with 5 minutes for questions;
* Management presentation: a 20-25 minute talk,
with 5-10 minutes for questions
(ie a total 30 minutes);
Panel sessions will also be timetabled in the conference and speakers
should indicate their willingness to participate, and may like to
suggest panel topics.
Tutorials, which may be of either a technical or management
orientation, provide a more thorough presentation, of either a half-day
or full-day duration.
Representing the largest Unix and Open Systems event held in Australia
this conference offers an unparallelled opportunity to present your ideas
and experiences to an audience with a major influence on the direction
of computing in Australia.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Those proposing to submit papers should submit an extended abstract
(1-3 pages) and a brief biography, and clearly indicate their preferred
presentation format.
Those submitting tutorial proposals should submit an outline of the
tutorial and a brief biography, and clearly indicate whether the
tutorial is of half-day or full-day duration.
SPEAKER INCENTIVES
Presenters of papers are afforded complimentary conference registration.
Tutorial presenters may select 25% of the profit of their session OR
complimentary conference registration. Past experience suggests that a
successful tutorial session of either duration can generate a
reasonable return to the presenter.
