Best Systems and Networking Conferences

Systems is the largest field of research group in the CORE list, spanning operating systems, distributed computing, networking, cloud and mobile. SOSP and OSDI alternate years and accept roughly one paper in six; SIGCOMM and NSDI hold the equivalent position in networking.

The tier below — EuroSys, ATC, FAST, CoNEXT, ICDCS, Middleware — is deep and competitive, and a paper rejected from an A* venue here usually lands well. Artifact evaluation is now standard across most of the top venues.
