Hi,

</div>
<div>I think that all three on this shortlist from Sam would do an excellent job!</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi HotStorage SC,<br>
<br>
<b>A) I wanted to update you on ongoing HotStorage activities.</b><br>
<br>
HS '26 (<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.hotstorage.org%2f2026%2f&c=E,1,NX-ZQy8Bs5Cn5dG-nSp-UUBb5vS2AAEbuIcanFx8DoSzxdO8xFzFnURGLm5QnaUkATUhOECrC3DcCauTAnoAeHh3s-8gmhhI9r00783gW34SIALELuudNJckthoB&typo=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.hotstorage.org/2026/</a>)
is being held as a SOSP workshop this year. Unlike regular SOSP workshops that are one day long, HS '26 will be 1.5 days long (Oct 28, 29). We hope to see you there. If you are planning to attend, please let me know. In a pinch, the PC chairs may ask you to
chair a session.<br>
<br>
While SOSP will cover all our costs for Oct 29, we are covering the costs for Oct 28. However, SOSP did not allow us to charge a separate registration fee for HotStorage (attendees pay a fixed fee for all SOSP workshops). This has raised two issues. First,
we don't have a list of HotStorage attendees, which has complicated planning for T-shirts and dinner on Oct 28. We have come up with some workarounds for this issue. Second, our only source of income this year will be sponsorships. Currently, we are somewhat
short but we are hoping additional sponsorships will come through. The SIGOPS chairs are aware of the situation and we will be able to use our surplus funds if needed. In the future, we could consider co-locating HotStorage with SOSP but not as an SOSP workshop
(similar to APSys 2025). This would allow us more flexibility with registration but would raise our costs as well.<br>
<br>
Regarding the AI-generated submissions that we discussed previously, the PC chairs informed me that none of the 10 submissions by the (same) authors were accepted. This was because all the papers were below the bar, not due to any specific policy for AI-generated
submissions. Our email discussion led to various suggestions for future workshops. We will revisit them in a later meeting when we do the debriefing with the chairs (likely Dec-Jan timeframe).<br>
<br>
<b>B) I am looking for your input regarding PC chairs for HS '27.</b>
<div><br>
We need to choose PC chairs for HS '27. This has been delayed, partly because we are following a different schedule this year (my apologies). Instead of waiting to organize a separate meeting, I thought we could try to come to a consensus by email this time.<br>
<br>
This is our previous list (A/I: academic/industry).<br>
<br>
A/M Ali Butt<br>
A/M Peter Desnoyers<br>
A/M Zhichao Cao, ASU<br>
A/M Yu Hua<br>
I/M Changwoo Min (declined previous invitation due to family reasons)<br>
I/M Peter Macko (declined previous invitation due to chairing FAST '27)<br>
A/M George Amvrosiadis (chairing FAST '27)<br>
I/F Florentina Popovici<br>
I/M Andrew Warfield<br>
AI/M Hakim Weatherspoon<br>
I/F Andromachi Chatzieleftheriou<br>
A/F Janki Bhimani<br>
<br>
I have also compiled the top-ranked authors from the last 5 workshops (2022-2026). There were other people with three papers but many of them were students.<br>
<br>
A/M Myoungsoo Jung, KAIST (7)<br>
A/M Jian Zhang, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) (5)<br>
A/M Zhichao Cao, Arizona State University (3)<br>
A/M Chun Jason Xue, City University of Hong Kong/Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (3)<br>
A/F Janki Bhimani, FIU (3)<br>
<br>
Please let us know your thoughts about the choices above and if you have other people in mind as well.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Ashvin</div>
