will be held at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, May 3-7, 2010. This year's conference will include a two-day research track May 6-7 of peer-reviewed papers on the design, implementation, and analysis of storage systems. As with prior MSST conferences, this conference will be a top-quality venue for presenting the latest research and development in storage systems and meeting with colleagues from industry, academia, and government.</tt><br><br><tt>We encourage the submission of research papers on the implementation, design, and analysis of file and storage systems. Specific areas of interest for MSST2010 include but are not limited to:</tt><br><br><tt> * storage systems architectures</tt><br><tt> * design and implementation of hybrid and other novel storage systems</tt><br><tt> * developments in storage technologies</tt><br><tt> * integration of solid state and other emerging technologies into storage
systems</tt><br><tt> * networks and protocols to support storage</tt><br><tt> * storage security, privacy, provenance, etc.</tt><br><tt> * techniques for building extremely scalable and distributed storage systems</tt><br><tt> * approaches to long-term data preservation and management</tt><br><tt> * performance modeling and analysis of scalable storage systems</tt><br><tt> * caching and replication approaches</tt><br><tt> * storage in virtualized environments</tt><br><tt> * cloud storage and other globally scalable storage approaches</tt><br><tt> * metadata management</tt><br><tt> * experience with real systems</tt><br><br><tt><span>Interested authors are invited to submit a regular paper or a short paper online at </span></tt></span><a href="https://rim.tntech.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://iweb.tntech.edu/hexb/msst2010"
