Evaluates, frames, and optimizes systems research manuscripts targeting the USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI).

The USENIX OSDI Paper Submission Advisor is a specialized skill for systems researchers and computer science authors preparing manuscripts for USENIX OSDI. It evaluates conference fit, calibrates systems-level research contributions (including operating systems, distributed architectures, storage, and cloud infrastructure), and diagnoses critical evidence gaps such as workload representativeness, baseline comparisons, and prototype maturity. Additionally, it helps navigate peer venue routing against SOSP, NSDI, and FAST while preventing common desk-reject pitfalls like microbenchmark reliance and formatting non-compliance.
