ACM SIGOPS European Conference on Computer Systems is an annual technical conference for researchers in computer science, focusing on operating systems, distributed systems, datacenter and cloud computing research. The conference serves as a European counterpart to venues such as USENIX Annual Technical Conference, ACM SIGCOMM, and ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles while attracting authors from institutions like University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, INRIA, and Max Planck Society. EuroSys provides a forum for interaction among communities represented by LMU Munich, Imperial College London, TU Delft, University of Edinburgh, and industrial labs such as Google Research, Microsoft Research, Amazon Web Services, and IBM Research.
The conference originated in the mid-2000s with founders and organizers from organizations including ACM, SIGOPS, USENIX, EATCS, and European research centers like CNRS and CERN. Early editions were influenced by developments at Google and Microsoft on large-scale systems, as well as academic work from MIT, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of California, Berkeley, and ETH Zurich. Over successive years the program committees included members from Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, EPFL, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Sorbonne University. The roster of attendees and authors expanded alongside projects such as MapReduce, Hadoop, Kubernetes, and Xen that shaped systems research agendas in Europe and worldwide.
EuroSys is organized under the auspices of ACM and its subgroup SIGOPS with program chairs drawn from universities like University of Oxford, University College London, Technical University of Munich, and research labs including Microsoft Research Cambridge and Google DeepMind. Sponsorship and logistical support have come from corporate partners and grant agencies such as ERC, Horizon Europe, Intel Labs, ARM, NVIDIA, Red Hat, VMware, and Huawei. Steering committees have included representatives from ACM Europe Council, IEEE Computer Society, IFIP, and national research councils such as UK Research and Innovation and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
The conference scope covers areas of interest tied to systems research including operating systems design, virtualization and containerization, networking for datacenters, storage systems, file systems, distributed algorithms, fault tolerance, consensus protocols like Paxos and Raft, and performance evaluation involving benchmarks such as TPC, SPEC, and workload generators used by labs at UC Berkeley RISELab and ETH Zurich Systems Group. Intersections with applied research communities like security and privacy are reflected via collaborations with authors from Carnegie Mellon University CyLab, Stanford Applied Cryptography Group, and INRIA PRIVACY researchers. Cross-disciplinary submissions often cite deployments at infrastructures such as Grid5000, CERN OpenStack, European Grid Infrastructure, and cloud providers including Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform.
EuroSys editions have been hosted at European institutions and cities with strong computer science communities, including Lisbon, Prague, Budapest, Paris, Dublin, Amsterdam, Vienna, Edinburgh, London, Barcelona, Munich, Berlin, and Zurich. Local organizers have typically been drawn from universities such as Universidade de Lisboa, Charles University, Eötvös Loránd University, École Polytechnique, Trinity College Dublin, University of Amsterdam, Vienna University of Technology, University of Edinburgh, Imperial College London, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Humboldt University of Berlin, and ETH Zurich. Venues often coordinate with regional conferences like ASPLOS Europe and workshops associated with SOSP satellite events.
Proceedings are published through the ACM Digital Library and indexed in bibliographic services such as DBLP, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. Accepted papers undergo peer review coordinated by program chairs from institutions including Princeton University, Yale University, University of Toronto, and University of Cambridge with program committees that have included experts from Microsoft Research Redmond, Amazon, Facebook AI Research, and IBM Research Zurich. Artifact evaluation and reproducibility efforts draw on infrastructure and standards promoted by PLDI and SIGPLAN communities and are archived with data repositories like Zenodo and institutional repositories at EPFL and TU Delft.
EuroSys has featured influential papers on topics such as lightweight virtualization inspired by Xen and KVM, scalable storage designs akin to GFS and Ceph, scheduling algorithms used in Mesos and Kubernetes, and consistency models related to Cassandra and Spanner. Contributions have intersected with high-impact projects at Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Netflix and with academic systems like ROS, Paxos Made Simple follow-ons, and Dynamo. Authors have included researchers formerly affiliated with MIT CSAIL, UC Berkeley AMP Lab, Cornell University, Princeton University, and Harvard University. Several papers influenced industrial deployments at Google Borg, Amazon EC2, Azure, and academic testbeds such as PlanetLab.
EuroSys presents best-paper awards, best-poster awards, and commendations often granted by panels including members of ACM SIGOPS, ACM SIGMETRICS, and IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing. Award recipients have gone on to receive honors from institutions like Royal Society, European Research Council Starting Grants, SIGOPS Hall of Fame recognitions, and career awards such as the ACM Prize in Computing, ACM SIGOPS Dennis M. Ritchie Doctoral Dissertation Award, and national academies including Royal Academy of Engineering and Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina.
