Academic and industrial participants present research and experience papers that cover the full range of theory and practice. SOSP 17 continues the tradition of previous conferences, focusing on the design, implementation, analysis, and deployment of operating systems. It includes a broad set of high quality, relevant, interesting papers, covering a wide range of topics, platforms, and environments. We chose research that advances the state of the art into new territory, continues a significant research dialogue, or reflects on practical applications of the community's knowledge. Many contributions emphasise the OS community's contribution to the closely related fields of computer architecture, data communications, programming systems and languages, and applications.

The Symposium will be held at the beautiful Kiawah Island Resort, an exquisite beach-front getaway. Participants will stay in a cluster of villas near the conference center, a short walk from the beach. Kiawah's miles-long ocean beach is one of the finest in the world. Its golf courses are world-class. The island is laced with miles of paved bike paths, and bike rentals are available.
