Call for Papers<br>
Workshop on Emerging Data Storage Technologies<br>
IEEE ICC 2012, Ottawa, Canada, June 10-15, 2012<br>
<br>
Paper Submission: 30 November 2011<br>

Workshop website: <a href="http://committees.comsoc.org/spfs/icc2012/" target="_blank">http://committees.comsoc.org/spfs/icc2012/</a><br>
<br>

<br>
Scope and Motivation<br>
<br>
Coding and Signal Processing form critical components of modern data storage<br>
systems. Recent advances in emerging data storage technologies, such as<br>
non-volatile memories (NVM), bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) and<br>
heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) transform the storage industry. On<br>
the system level, massive distributed storage networks, data centers and<br>
cloud storage systems are currently adopting erasure coding techniques for<br>
higher storage efficiency. This workshop seeks to bring academia and<br>
industry efforts closer and develop better technologies and practices for<br>
future storage architectures.<br>
<br>
Invited and contributed technical papers to this workshop are to follow the<br>
same format and length requirements (double-column, 10 point font, 5 pages)<br>
as ICC 2012. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included<br>
in the IEEE digital library.<br>
<br>
Main Topics of Interest: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
1. Coding, signal processing, and information theoretic aspects of<br>
ultra-high density magnetic recording. New concepts for BPMR and HAMR<br>
<br>
2. Non-volatile memories: modeling and characterization of NVM, such as<br>
flash, phase change RAM (PCRAM), and spin-transfer torque RAM (STT-MRAM).<br>
Endurance coding and wear-leveling. System-on-chip (SOC) architecture and<br>
optimization<br>
<br>
3. Data Centers and distributed storage networks. Coding techniques in cloud<br>
storage, distributed storage networks and data centers. Storage management<br>
and inter-operability, storage security.<br>
<br>
4. Storage Applications. Data compression for digital storage, including<br>
audio and video Signal processing and coding methods for object based<br>
storage systems. Data security for storage systems<br>
<br>
