Welcome to CompSys 2022, a Computer Science conference designed to showcase the success stories of Dutch Computer Systems research, while fostering and strengthening national and international collaboration.

At CompSys, we aim to provide a meeting space for research and industry ideas in the area of computing and computer science. Building up on the success of the previous four editions (2021, 2019, 2018, 2017), the fifth edition of the conference will emphasize efforts on community building and providing a forum to discuss ongoing and future projects among all members of academic research groups in the Netherlands.

This year CompSys is back as an in-person conference, for two and a half days!.

The conference will focus on the major research and practice themes related to computer systems. We envision a diverse program, featuring keynotes on advanced topics, strong scientific contributions, panel discussions, and exciting new ideas. We strive for a diverse participation from all the interesting and interested parties in the Netherlands, and we welcome senior members of the research community, junior faculty members, Ph.D., and master students.

3 - Submission details

CompSys-2022 invites you to submit two types of contributions: research papers and work-in-progress papers.

Submission Portal

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=compsys2022. For submission, the PDF format is mandatory.

Long papers

Research papers on your best research results from the past year(s). This includes papers already submitted to and/or accepted at international conferences or workshops (please indicate the original venue on the submission form).

Long papers (preferably not exceeding 12 pages in double-column or 15 pages in LNCS format) can be submitted using any of the commonly used templates (e.g., ACM, IEEE, LNCS) so that no reformatting should be needed in most cases.

Short papers: Work-in-progress

Since CompSys is a forum that encourages discussions about new and exciting ideas, we specifically welcome extended abstracts and work-in-progress papers. Such submissions are especially suitable for MSc students working towards finalizing their theses or PhD students who have recently started.

Submissions of new ideas or work-in-progress papers requires an short paper of at most 2 pages (not including references) in ACM or IEEE double-column format. The paper should mention the research question being addressed, outline the novelty and/or originality of the idea, approach, or results, and contain a summary of preliminary results.

Flash talks: New ideas

We also encourage participants to register to give a short talk (less than 5 minutes) to share a research direction with the community, stimulate offline discussions and collect feedback. In particular, we encourage early stage researchers (PhD, MSc, BSc) who do not have yet enough results to write a paper to seize the opportunity to talk about their work.

No copyright: To foster the broadest possible engagement and exchange ideas, CompSys-2022 does not claim copyright, making it possible for you to present work that has already been published or is in the process of publishing elsewhere.

Both types of contributions can be submitted online via the EasyChair conference submission system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=compsys2022. For submission, the PDF format is mandatory.

All contributions will be reviewed by the Program Committee, which assigns an accepted contribution to either a short talk or a full presentation, depending on the advice of the reviewers.

All presentations will be made available in digital format, unless otherwise instructed by the authors.

Outstanding contributions

The best three contributors (authors of a paper, idea, and/or presentation) at CompSys 2022 will be presented with an "Outstanding contribution" award in the final session of the conference.

Title: BRIDGES – An Advanced Global Infrastructure for Network Experimentation.
By Jerry Sobieski
NORDUnet
Abstract: Over the last 20 years the networks serving the research and education community have become a critical infrastructure to universities and science laboratories the use them worldwide. However, this success has made these networks less malleable and unable to provide the structural or architectural flexibility desired by researchers to experiment with novel approaches to future advanced cyber-infrastructure and services. The next 20 years will usher in many new requirements and capabilities related to cyber-infrastructure that will require a highly flexible, interconnected global canvas that can provide both leading edge performance and a high degree of research malleability to support disruptive experimental service deployments. BRIDGES is high performance testbed networking facility that spans the Atlantic to bind networking and computer science research inititives in US and Europe. This talk will provide an overview of the motivation, architecture, and services concepts BRIDGES is making available to support these research futures.
Short bio: Jerry Sobieski is currently co-Principle Investigator on the BRIDGES Project lead by George Mason University in Virginia. BRIDGES is a US National Science Foundation funded program constructing a high performance intercontinental network spanning the Atlantic Ocean to support advanced network and distributed e-science applications among collaborating researchers in the US and Europe. Prior to this role at GMU and BRIDGES, he worked with Nordic Universities Network (NORDUnet, Copenhagen) as Director of International Research. He served as Activity Leader in the GEANT Project to develop the GEANT Testbed Service – an advanced virtualized service architecture for constructing experimental networks across Europe.

Prior to his work in Europe, he has served as Director of Research at the Mid-Atlantic Crossroads – the regional R&E network serving the Washington DC region, and worked for Internet2 during the design and deployment US R&E backbone network in the early 2000’s.

He has led or participated in a number of collaborative international efforts including: The specification the Network Service Interface protocol standard (NSI); the Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF) consortium, the GLIF Automated Open Lightpath Exchange initiative “AutoGOLE” (an international networking testbed spanning multiple continents), and development efforts for ITU protocol standards.

Title: The Responsible Internet - a new security pillar for the Internet
By Ralf Holz
Design and Analysis of Communication Systems group, University of Twente
Abstract: While our online security posture has improved substantially in the past two decades, suprisingly much still leaves to be desired - in particular, incentives for better security are still oddly misaligned with business considerations. In this talk, we present the Responsible Internet, a new security pillar for the Internet that is agnostic to technological developments and aims at re-aligning security incentives and boosting overall deployment security. In a nutshell, the Responsible Internet is to the Internet what Responsible AI is to Artificial Intelligence: it adds critical properties that provide stakeholders and users with the means to use the Internet safely and securely. These properties are Controllability, Accountability, and Transparency. By showcasing a number of empirical results from the past 20 years, we demonstrate that recording and logging insights into global network operations allows to hold operators accountable and ultimately shifts the incentives for operators towards investing into better security if they wish to remain competitive. We then show how data flows on the Internet can be steered (Controllability) based on these insights into operations (Transparency) and how one can verify that operators also act as promised (Accountability). The Responsible Internet, whose development is currently kick-started in a 2m EUR multidisciplinary project within the Dutch national research agenda, is an enabler of Digital Sovereignty: it gives end-users a way to determine how their data is handled in transit, and it provides new business opportunities for operators. We conclude with an invitation to join this effort and collaborate on this new paradigm.
Short bio: Ralf Holz is an Associate Professor in Empirical Security and Internet Evolution in the Design and Analysis of Communication Systems Group at the University of Twente. His research interests revolve around understanding and improving the Internet for everyone, with a particular focus on security aspects. Most recently, he has been working on Global-scale measurement of Internet service deployments and their security Data-driven security mechanisms Analysis of emerging technology and its implications He views his work through the lens of real-world implications. The tech is not always what matters—it’s the embedding in our world that makes it meaningful. Hence, he works with other disciplines and industry alike to make the Internet a safer, more secure, and altogether more interesting and useful place.
