Scope
The Plan 9 operating system and related technologies, such as the 9p protocols and the Inferno OS, have gained increased interest due to the recent founding of the Plan 9 Foundation and the publication of Plan 9 and Inferno source code under the MIT open source license.
This 2023 edition of the International Workshop on Plan 9 aims to bring together researchers, developers and students working on Plan 9 from Bell Labs or related systems, platforms, and projects, to discuss a wide range of system and application ideas and issues.
Suggested topics for papers and discussion include, but are not restricted to, any of the following:
- System Architecture
- System Services
- Ports to New Hardware Platforms
- File Systems and Servers
- Applications
- Projects for other Platforms Related to Plan 9
- Security Topics
All systems in the Plan 9 family are welcome.
