EuroSys 2009 is organised by EuroSys, the European Chapter of SIGOPS, sponsored by ACM SIGOPS, in cooperation with Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) and the British Computer Society (BCS).

The EuroSys conference series brings together professionals from academia and industry. It has a strong focus on systems research and development: operating systems, data base systems, real-time systems and middleware for networked, distributed, parallel, or embedded computing systems. As a highly recognized conference — rank 11 out of 581 in terms of impact factor for 2007 (cf. CiteSeer) — EuroSys has become a premier forum for discussing various issues of systems software research and development, including implications related to hardware and applications.

EuroSys 2009 will follow the pattern established by the previous EuroSys conferences, by seeking papers on all aspects of computer systems. EuroSys 2009 will also include a number of workshops to allow junior and senior members of the systems community to explore leading-edge topics and ideas before they are presented at a conference.
