Calls for Papers and Calls for Participation | USENIX

The program committees of the following conferences are seeking submissions. CiteSeer ranks the USENIX Conference Proceedings among the the top ten highest-impact publication venues for computer science. By submitting a paper to a USENIX conference, you have the opportunity to present your work directly to your peers and to share it with a wide audience of readers of the Proceedings. Please see our Conference Submissions Policy.
Please note: All submission deadline times listed below are for the Pacific time zone. See the original CFP for submission deadlines that are in Anywhere on Earth (AoE) or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Join us in Seattle, WA, as we gather to discuss a variety of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) topics. This year we look to explore the larger business environment that SREs find themselves working within. The explosion of Generative AI and the integration of those capabilities into everyday work has changed the nature of work in ways that we are continuing to understand the second and third order effects of.
For example, AI can now appear as another teammate. We ask: Is that going well? What is still foundational about reliability engineering, and what has changed? How does expertise change in this rapidly-evolving environment, and how do we build it, hire for it, and recognize it when the tools themselves are reshaping what "knowing how" looks like?
We welcome contributions that describe, examine, analyze, provide guidance, or make predictions around the path forward in Site Reliability Engineering.
OSDI, the USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation, brings together professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds in a premier forum for discussing the design, implementation, and implications of systems software. OSDI emphasizes innovative research and quantified or insightful experiences in systems design and implementation.
OSDI takes a broad view of the systems area and solicits contributions from many fields of systems practice, including operating systems, file and storage systems, distributed systems, cloud computing, mobile systems, secure and reliable systems, systems aspects of big data, systems for machine learning, embedded systems, virtualization, networking as it relates to operating systems, and management and troubleshooting of complex systems. We also welcome work that explores the interface between systems and related areas such as artificial intelligence, computer architecture, networking, programming languages, analytics, and databases. We encourage contributions with highly original ideas, new approaches, and groundbreaking results.
Recent improvements in vehicle autonomy and connectivity (e.g., autonomous driving, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, intelligent transportation systems, and swarm robotics) have also served to exacerbate security and privacy challenges and thus require urgent attention from academia, industry, and policy-makers. To meet this critical need, VehicleSec aims to bring together an audience of university researchers, scientists, industry professionals, and government representatives to contribute new theories, technologies, and systems on any security/privacy issues related to vehicles (e.g., ground, aerial, in/on water, space), their sub-systems (e.g., in-vehicle networks, autonomy, connectivity, human-machine interfaces), supporting infrastructures (e.g., transportation infrastructure, charging station, ground control station), and related fundamental technologies (e.g., sensing, control, AI/ML/DNN/LLM, wireless communication, real-time computing, edge computing, location service, simulation, digital twin, multi-agent protocol/system design, and human-machine interaction).
The USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies brings together both academics and practitioners in the field of offensive security research. Occurring annually since 2007, when it was first founded as the Workshop on Offensive Technologies, WOOT has become the top venue for collaboration between academia, independent hackers, and industry participants on offensive research. As offensive security has changed over the years to become a large-scale operation managed by well-capitalized actors, WOOT has consistently attracted a range of high-quality, peer-reviewed work from academia and industry on novel attacks, state-of-the-art tools, and offensive techniques.
WOOT '27 welcomes submissions from academia, independent researchers, students, hackers, and industry. Two different submission tracks are available—an academic "classic" track for those intending to submit complete formal academic papers and an "up-and-coming" track for new or non-academic researchers who may be less familiar with academic procedures and may desire assistance writing a paper or just additional feedback and reviews.
The USENIX Conference on Secure Agentic-AI Systems (SAIS) [pronounced /sɛz/] is a new conference dedicated to the security and privacy of AI-powered autonomous and agentic systems. SAIS brings together researchers, practitioners, developers, and users from around the world to explore cutting-edge ideas and principled approaches to designing, verifying, and deploying secure and privacy-preserving AI agents in the real world.
