Scope
This 2025 edition of the International Workshop on Plan 9 aims to bring together researchers, developers, and students working on Plan 9, Inferno, the 9P family of protocols, and related technologies to discuss advances in these fields, ideas for further improvement, applications, and impact of these ideas on the broader computer science community; and to work together on key issues identified during the first two days of the workshop or during the discussions leading up to it.
This year, our host having a focus on computer security, papers about cryptography, authentication, fault tolerance, robustness, security applications, error detection and remediation, software reliability, etc. are particularly welcome.
A second area of focus this year include Plan 9 and its derivatives’ history, and their impact on the broader computer industry. A round table will be held on these topics, and the history team at the Cnam is willing to assist in conducting oral history interviews with interested parties. Any paper or talk proposal focusing on the history of these technologies will also be particularly welcome.
As usual, the workshop topics also include, and are not restricted to:
- system architecture
- system services
- file systems and servers
- applications
- projects for other platforms related to Plan 9
