The meeting is being organised by the ACM SIGOPS European Chapter as part of their work on promoting systems research in Europe. The workshop is generously supported by Symbian. Registration (including lunch and coffee) is free of charge for invited participants -- that is, for everyone who submitted an abstract of their PhD work in response to the earlier call. We may have space for others at SOSP to sit in on the meeting, please contact Tim Harris for details (tharris@microsoft.com).
