This one-day workshop focuses on the <br> data storage problems and emerging solutions found in petascale <br> scientific computing environments, with special attention to issues in <br> which community collaboration can be crucial, problem identification, <br> workload capture, solution interoperability, standards with community <br> buy-in, and shared tools.<br> <br> Paper Submission Website: <a href="http://www.pdsi-scidac.org/events/PDSW08/">http://www.pdsi-scidac.org/events/PDSW08/</a><br> Paper (extended abstract in pdf format) due Fri Sept. 26, 2008<br> Notification: Mon Oct. 20, 2008<br> Softcopy and slides due Nov. 16 BEFORE the workshop<br> <br> Paper Submission Details:<br> The petascale data storage workshop holds a peer reviewed competitive <br> process for selecting extended abstracts and short papers. Submit a <br> not previously published extended abstract of 2 to 5 pages, not less <br> than 10 point font, in a PDF file as instructed on the workshop web <br> site. Submitted papers will be reviewed under the supervision of the <br> workshop program committee. Submissions should indicate authors and <br> affiliations. Selected papers and associated talks will be made <br> available on the workshop web site. Selected final papers may be <br> longer than in submission, but not longer than 10 pages. The workshop <br> proceedings will be published in association with SC08 in the IEEE <br> digital library and talk slides will be made available on the workshop <br> web site.<br> <br> Poster Presentations:<br> There will also be a poster presentation opportunity at the workshop. <br> Parties interested in presenting a related technical poster (posters <br> with technical results for storage products are also encouraged) <br> should submit a paragraph or two proposal describing a poster's <br> contents through the above web site no later than November 7, 2008. <br> Poster acceptance will be communicated on or before November 10, 2008.<br> <br> Committee:<br> Garth A.
