SOSP 2007 Women's Workshop -- Call for Participation

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the SYSTERS electronic forum that
started with women from the systems research community at the 1987 Symposium
on Operating System Principles (SOSP), SOSP'07 has initiated a special
workshop for women in computer systems as a prelude to the beginning of the
SOSP conference. The one-day workshop will commence in the late afternoon on
Saturday, Oct. 13 and proceed through Sunday, and is targeted to women
students at the graduate and senior undergraduate levels with interests in
computer systems research. Early career women faculty and researchers
involved in systems research are also encouraged to participate.

Through the generous support of CRA-W, NSF, Microsoft, Google, and HP, we
are able to offer a significant number of scholarship awards for graduate
and senior undergraduate women and minority students to participate in this
workshop, followed by SOSP attendance. The awards provide an allowance for
travel, shared room accommodation, and registration.

The purpose of this posting in multifold. First, we want the greater
computer science community to be aware of the Women's Workshop and encourage
support and participation. Second, for graduate and senior undergraduate
students, we invite and encourage you to attend. The first step is to apply
for one of these scholarships. The deadline for application was August
15th(with the likelihood of an extension of at least one week- check
the website
for details), and instructions may be found on the SOSP web site listed
below. Third is a request for help from the faculty mentors out there. We
ask you to get in touch with your women students who may benefit from this
opportunity and get them to apply for scholarships and attend this workshop.

Please see http://www.sosp2007.org/ for both a link to the women's workshop
description and tentative program as well as a link to the scholarship
application procedures.
