EuroSys 2026: Where Systems Research Is Heading
EuroSys has always been a good place to see where real systems pressure is building. The 2026 edition is especially revealing. The accepted-paper list shows a community that is no longer just building generic distributed systems abstractions. It is increasingly shaped by AI-scale workloads, accelerators, network bottlenecks, cloud efficiency, and production-grade reliability constraints.
