Doctoral Forum Keynote
From Draft to DSN: How to Get Your Paper In (Tentative)
, Université de Neuchâtel
Abstract: Publishing at top systems conferences like DSN is hard. You need an open, exciting problem. You need the skills to dive deep into low-level details and soar at high-level design. You need rigorous experiments, compelling results that beat the state-of-the-art — and the storytelling must be top-notch. Sometimes, even by ticking all these check-boxes, "they were sorry to inform you" that your paper didn't make the cut. We have all been there (more often than you’d think). In this keynote, I will share some "dos and don'ts" that can make your PhD journey a little smoother and help put all chances on your side for your next submission.
Bio: Valerio Schiavoni is Professeur Titulaire and Maître d’enseignement et de recherche at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. He received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Roma Tre University (Italy) and the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), respectively. He was a Research Engineer at INRIA Rhône-Alpes (France) and Yahoo! Research (Spain). He served as the scientific coordinator of the Centre of Competence for Complex Systems and Big Data at the University of Neuchâtel. He currently coordinates the CUSO Doctoral Program in Computer Science. He co-founded a start-up and the ARM HPC User Group (AHUG). Valerio has published more than 100 papers and served on over 50 TPCs, including DSN, EuroSys, ICDCS, SoCC, and such. He was PC Co-Chair for DAIS’20, the EuroSys 2023 Shadow Program Committee, ACM Middleware’24, IEEE PRDC’24, and the EuroSys Artifact Evaluation 2024. Currently, he serves as the PC Co-Chair for IEEE SRDS 2025. His research interests lie at the intersection of systems (broadly conceived), distributed computing, security, and data management.
