Use when writing or auditing the related-work and positioning of an ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference, formerly USENIX ATC) systems paper — covering the systems literature lanes, positioning against OSDI/SOSP/NSDI/EuroSys/FAST, writing delta-first comparisons, and keeping self-citation double-blind.

# ATC Related Work

Position the paper in the systems literature, not against a strawman. ATC's broad scope means your
reviewers span subareas, and a related-work section that a storage reviewer and a networking
reviewer both find fair is a signal the paper is well situated. Because review is **double-blind**,
positioning and self-citation must be handled carefully.

## Cover the lanes a systems reviewer expects

For most ATC papers, at least these lanes should be visible:

- **The direct predecessors** — the systems and techniques you build on or replace, with the
