systems-paper-writing

Provides paragraph-level structural blueprints for 10-12 page systems papers targeting OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS, NSDI, and EuroSys. Covers page budgets per section, writing patterns (gap analysis, observation-driven, contribution list, thesis formula), evaluation structure, venue checklists, reviewer guidelines, deadlines, and LaTeX templates for OSDI, NSDI, ASPLOS, and SOSP. Use when planning the section and page layout of a systems paper. Use when drafting an introduction, motivation, design, or evaluation section. Use when checking a draft against venue page limits and a pre-submission checklist. Use when anticipating how systems reviewers will assess a paper. Use when looking up conference formats or deadlines. For NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR papers or citation verification, use ml-paper-writing instead.
