[Hotstorage-chairs] [Important] SOSP'26 Awards for Workshops

Thu Sep 17 08:46:09 EDT 2026

Dear Dimitrios,

No worries, we understand.

By any chance, would you happen to know the layout of the certificate? We are thinking of printing the titles/names on adhesive transparent sheets.

If not, again, no worries. Thanks, and I hope to see you at SOSP.
-Bryan

Dear Bryan,

Unfortunately, I have already sent out the request to print the blank certificates.

I think it might complicate things if I changed the request now, since I think they'd have done that last week.

I hope it does not create big issues for you.

Best,

Dimitrios

Dear Mai and Travis,

yes, we can prepare blank certificates which you can fill on the spot.

If anything changes, I will let you know.

Best,

Dimitrios

Dear Dimitrios Stavrakakis,

Thank you for the notification and support. We plan to offer two awards to HotStorage’26 submissions:

  *
Award Title 1: Samsung Best Paper Award
  *
Workshop Name: The 18th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Storage and File Systems (HotStorage ’26)

  *
Award Title 2: FutureWei Best Paper Award
  *
Workshop Name: The 18th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Storage and File Systems (HotStorage ’26)

We are still in the process of identifying best submissions for the two awards. I’m copying our PC chairs in case they may have any updates in the near future. But in case we could not finalize the submission details by the deadline, is it possible to leave the field empty on the prints?

Thanks,

Travis Janssen & Mai Zheng,

-HotStorage’26 General Chairs
