CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

12th International Workshop

on High Performance Transaction Systems (HPTS)

The format of HPTS 2007 will include presentations of position papers, panels debating emerging directions, and sessions on application architectures, describing how they were built and suggesting ways that systems infrastructure could better support their development and management.

Those who wish to participate in the HPTS 2007 workshop may submit a short summary (two paragraph), a position paper or an abstract on current work and interests. A submission may present a viewpoint on a controversial topic, a summary of lessons learned, experience with a large or unusual system, or an innovative mechanism, architecture, product, application, or customer environment. The submission process is purposely lightweight, but we require that each submission be restricted to have a single author/presenter.

This is a by-invitation workshop not a conference. These submissions will help the program committee select the participants, and will help set the agenda for the workshop. Participants may be asked to be part of a presentation or discussion session at the workshop.

Attendance is limited to about 75 participants. In an effort to keep the workshop small and interactive, only one invitation can be extended per accepted paper. Abstracts and position papers should be at most five pages, and should be sent electronically in plain text by March 31, 2007 to the program chair.
