The 2002 USENIX Technical Conference seeks original and innovative
papers about the applications, architecture, implementation, and
performance of modern computing systems. As at all USENIX
conferences, papers that analyze problem areas and draw important
conclusions from practical experience are especially welcome. Some
particularly interesting application topics are:

*Cluster computing	*File systems and storage systems
*Complexity management  *Distributed caching and replication
*Mobile code		*Mobile/Wireless computing
*Multimedia 
	*Networking and network services
*Reliability and QoS	*Security and privacy
*Ubiquitous computing	*usage studies
*Web technologies	*Energy/Power Management
*Interoperability of heterogeneous systems

FREENIX is a special track within the USENIX Annual Technical
Conference that showcases the latest developments and applications in
freely redistributed technology. The FREENIX track covers the full
range of software and source code including but not limited to
Apache, Darwin, FreeBSD, GNOME, GNU, KDE, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Perl, PHP, Python, Samba, Tcl/Tk and more.

FREENIX is looking for papers about projects with a solid emphasis on
nurturing the open source/freely available software community and
talks which advance the state of the art of freely redistributable
software. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

*Cross-platform source portability and binary compatibility
*Desktop metaphors	*Distributed and parallel systems
*Documentation 
	*File system design
*Highly-available systems *Graphical user interface tools
*Storage Systems		*Highly-scalable and clustered systems
*Security 
		*System and user management tools
*Quality Assurance	*Large scale system management
