sosp-related-work

Use when positioning a SOSP submission against the systems literature — the SOSP/OSDI lineage a PC expects you to know, structural comparison instead of citation listing, third-person self-citation under double-blind rules, and handling concurrent work across the now-annual systems deadline circuit.

# SOSP Related Work

Use this when writing or auditing the related-work section of a SOSP paper. At this
venue the section is a load-bearing wall: the PC contains authors of the systems you
must compare against, the meeting will replay any positioning gap out loud, and the
"how does this differ from X" review is the most common avoidable negative. Rules
below reflect the 2026-cycle CFP's double-blind policy (checked 2026-07-08).

## Know the lineage or be corrected in public

A SOSP reviewer expects the paper to place itself in the SOSP/OSDI line of work on
its problem — often decades deep — plus the adjacent venues where the problem also
lives (EuroSys, USENIX ATC, NSDI for networked systems, FAST for storage, ASPLOS at
the architecture boundary). Two search passes are mandatory before the freeze:
