Scope

This 2027 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.

As usual, the workshop topics also include, and are not restricted to:

• system architecture
