*************************************************

The purpose of this track is to bring together researchers, designers,
and developers who are interested in methodology for the design and
analysis of operating systems and adaptive applications.

In recent years, we have noticed a tremendous growth on the demands for
high-performance operating systems.

At the same time, adaptive applications have also become more and more
complex, and it imposes new challenging issues never faced before in
this application field. It is thus clear that nowadays the development
and design of an operating systems must rely, even more than in the
recent past, on specific solutions both in the hardware and in the
software components. Moreover, the needs to timely tackle changes in the
market pushes toward the employment of methodologies to shorten the
development time and to drive the evolution of existing products. The
solutions to new problems emerging in this setting call for a joint
effort from the academics and industry.

The designs of high-performance operating systems and adaptive
applications must take into account a wide variety of constraints:
performance, code size, presence of real-time tasks, maintainability,
and possibly scalability. This Track provides a forum for the
presentation of high-quality, original research covering all aspects of
Operating systems and Adaptive Applications design, analysis,
implementation, evaluation, and case-studies.　Solutions might be
proposed at different levels of abstractions, making use of an
assortment of tools and methodologies. Researchers and practitioners
would have a chance to propose new ideas and to compare
experimentations. The focus of this track is on the application of both
novel and well-known techniques to the operating systems and adaptive
applications development.

Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Operating systems and adaptive applications practice
- Networking, storage simulation techniques for operating systems
- Distributed operating systems or parallel operating systems code
- Embedded operating systems and adaptive applications for mobile computing
- Testing, debugging, profiling, and performance analysis for operating
systems
- Special-purpose appliances and applications
- Fault tolerance and robustness for operating systems
- Scheduling and discrete optimization of systems with timing constraints
- Schedulability analysis of real-time applications
- System Security
- Modeling issues and case studies

** Paper Publication

All papers will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by
at least three referees.

The conference proceedings will be published by ACM. Hence, all accepted
papers should be submitted in ACM 2-column camera-ready format for
publication in the symposium proceedings. The final version of the paper
should not be more than 5 pages long. A set of selected papers, which
did not get accepted as full papers, will be accepted as poster papers
and will be published as short papers in the symposium proceedings.

** Journal Publication of Selected Papers

Expanded versions of selected papers from all categories will be
considered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP quarterly Applied Computing
Review or one of the other participating SIGs' publications. Selected
papers will be recommended for publication in an International Journal
as a special SAC2007 section.

** Submission Guidelines

Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be
considered. This includes three categories of submissions:  original and
unpublished research reports of innovative computing applications in the
arts, sciences, engineering, business, government, education and
industry reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.

** Submission guidelines must be strictly followed:

1. Submit your paper electronically at

http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2007/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fSAC2007%2fSubmitAbst
ract.aspx%3fTrackID%3d92
<http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2007/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fSAC2007%2fSubmitAbs
tract.aspx%3fTrackID%3d92&TrackID=107> &TrackID=107.

2. There will be a symposium-wide paper management system for SAC 2007.
The use of this system will be mandatory for all tracks. We will soon
let you know further details about the system.   There has been some
confusion in the past concerning submitting the same paper to multiple
tracks. Please state in your CFP that a paper cannot be submitted to
more than one track.

3. Papers must be submitted electronically in either WORD, Post Script
or PDF (PDF preferred).

4. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of
the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to
facilitate blind review.  Only the title should be shown at the first
page without the author's information.

5. The body of paper should not exceed 4,000 words (approximately 15
pages, double-spaced).

6. A separate cover sheet attached to each copy should show the title of
the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address
(including e-mail, telephone, and FAX) to which correspondence should be
sent. A few key words should be provided.

7. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind
review process by at least three referees. Accepted papers in all
categories will be published in the ACM SAC’07 proceedings.
