The 2009 Electronic Voting Technology Workshop/Workshop on Trustworthy
Elections (EVT/WOTE '09) will bring together researchers from a variety
of disciplines, ranging from computer science and human-computer
interaction experts through political scientists, legal experts,
election administrators, and voting equipment vendors.

Registration for the First USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Parallelism (HotPar '09) is now open to everyone.

HotPar '09 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of parallel computing. HotPar recognizes the broad impact of multicore computing and seeks relevant contributions from all fields, including application design, languages and compilers, systems, and architecture.

The 6th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '09) will be continuing its long-running tradition of showcasing early research in progress at a poster session. New, ongoing work, early findings from measurement studies, and demonstrations of newly deployed systems are highly encouraged. We are particularly interested in presentations of student work.

To submit a poster, please send a proposal, one page or less, by March 1, 2009, to nsdi09posters@usenix.org.

Join us February 23, 2009, San Francisco, CA, for the 1st Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP '09).

The TaPP workshop continues an informal series of workshops on Principles of Provenance organized in 2007–2008, which helped raise the profile of this area within diverse research communities, such as databases, security, and programming languages.
