International conferences on computer system: Analysis of EuroSys, SOSP, and OSDI during 2006 2014
Computer Systems provide the foundation upon which all other software applications rely. The goal of systems research is to develop the key abstractions and services that enable software to be efficiently and portably run on hardware, as well as to elicit the principles underlying the development and use of complex, parallel and distributed software/hardware systems. In this article, we study the community of the computer systems research community by analyzing the research publications and the program committee memberships of three top tier and prestigious computer systems conferences (EuroSys, SOSP and OSDI) over the period between 2006 and 2014. We study the growth in the size of research publications, research community and the program committees of the three studied conferences over the period between 2006 and 2014. We highlight the main scholars participating in the program committees of these venues. We also analyze the affiliation of program committee members to determine the main countries and institutions contributing to the computer systems area. Further, we show our results on the scholars with the highest number of participation on each of the studied conferences and when combined. Finally, we analyze the co authorship network to highlight some of the important research collaboration patterns in this community.
