ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (SOSR)

Operating Systems Review (OSR) is the official publication of ACM SIGOPS (Special Interest Group on Operating Systems), published under the umbrella of the Association for Computing Machinery. Since its origin as SIGOPS Bulletin evolving into OSR in 1969, the publication has fulfilled a unique role bridging informal community communication with rigorous discourse on operating systems research and practice. While not a traditional peer‑reviewed journal in the journal sense, OSR publishes themed issues and individual contributions that explore topics in operating system design, architecture, system performance, security, reliability, distributed and parallel systems, storage and IO, networking, and emerging systems research areas. Issues often include state‑of‑the‑art surveys, retrospectives, opinion pieces, tutorials, and works‑in‑progress that appeal to systems researchers and practitioners alike. The content is archived in the ACM Digital Library, ensuring that historical and current discourse on systems innovations — from early multiprogramming and time‑sharing systems to modern cloud and IoT scales — is preserved and accessible. OSR’s contributions have documented the evolution of operating systems thinking for over five decades, making it both a historical record and ongoing forum for systems communities worldwide.
