The publications listed here in reverse chronological order, are accepted on the basis of peer review of full paper. Other publications (including invited papers and abstracts, technical reports, thesis, etc.) are listed under other publications. In experimental computer systems research, premier conference papers are preferred to journal articles (see CRA best practices memo ). Premier conferences typically provide more peer reviews (4-5 rather than 2-3), are highly selective and have short turnaround times, which is essential in computer systems research.
