3:30 pm - 4:30 pm Work-in-Progress Session (WiPs)
Short, pithy, and fun, Work-in-Progress reports introduce interesting new or on-going work. Fast paced and spontanious, the WiPs feature new ideas or novel solutions to old problems. The number of presenters is limited, so reserve your WiPs slot by sending a note to tcl2kwips@usenix.org. Work-in-Progress reports are generally five-minute presentations; really interesting work can get more air time.
