LADiS proceedings on-line, w/ summary paper

Earlier on, I wrote about the workshop on Large-scale Distributed Systems and Middleware (LADiS 2008) that I attended and how much I enjoyed it.

In fact, I’ve joined some esteemed colleagues and co-authored a paper that summarizes the key thoughts and discussion topics that we heard at this event. It has now been published along with the revised version of the material that was originally delivered at LADiS.

The bibtex for the summary paper is as follows:

@inproceedings{1529976,
author = {van Renesse,, Robbert and Rodrigues,, Rodrigo and Spreitzer,, Mike and Stewart,, Christopher and Terry,, Doug and Travostino,, Franco},
title = {Challenges facing tomorrow’s datacenter: summary of the LADiS workshop},
booktitle = {LADIS ‘08: Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Large-Scale Distributed Systems and Middleware},
year = {2008},
isbn = {978-1-60558-296-2},
pages = {1–7},
location = {Yorktown Heights, New York},
doi = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1529974.1529976},
publisher = {ACM},
address = {New York, NY, USA},
}

The LADiS workshop has now “graduated” into a recurring event that in 2009 will be jointly held with the 22nd ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP 2009). I’m part of the Technical Program Committee and will be a strong advocate for the event, starting from this blog.
