</div>
<div>Peta- and exascale computing infrastructures make unprecedented demands on</div>
<div>capacity, performance, concurrency, reliability, availability, and</div>
<div>manageability of storage systems. This one-day workshop focuses on the</div>
<div>data storage and management problems and emerging solutions found in</div>
<div>peta- and exascale scientific computing environments, with special</div>
<div>attention to issues in which community collaboration can be crucial for</div>
<div>problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability,</div>
<div>standards with community buy-in, and shared tools.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Addressing storage media ranging from tape, HDD, and SSD, to emerging</div>
<div>storage devices like NVRAM, the workshop seeks contributions on relevant</div>
<div>topics, including but not limited to:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* performance and benchmarking</div>
<div>* failure tolerance problems and solutions</div>
<div>* APIs for high performance features</div>
<div>* parallel file systems</div>
<div>* high bandwidth storage architectures</div>
<div>* support for high velocity or complex data</div>
<div>* metadata intensive workloads</div>
<div>* autonomics for HPC storage</div>
<div>* virtualization for storage systems</div>
<div>* archival storage advances</div>
<div>* resource management innovations</div>
<div>* incorporation of emerging storage technologies </div>
<div>* workload study from production systems</div>

<div>Paper Submissions:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Parallel Data Storage Workshop holds a peer reviewed competitive</div>
<div>process for selecting short papers. Submit a not previously published</div>
<div>short paper of up to 5 pages, not less than 10 point font and not</div>
<div>including references, in a PDF file as instructed on the workshop web</div>
<div>site. Submitted papers will be reviewed under the supervision of the</div>
<div>workshop program committee. Submissions should indicate authors and</div>
<div>affiliations. Final papers must not be longer than 5 pages (excluding</div>
<div>references). Selected papers and associated talk slides will be made</div>
<div>available on the workshop web site; the papers will also be published in</div>
<div>the digital library of the IEEE or ACM.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Paper Submission Deadline: 9pm PDT, September 16, 2015</div>
<div>Paper Notification: September 30, 2015</div>
<div>Camera Ready Due: October 9, 2015</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Work-in-progress (WIP) Submissions:</div>
<div>There will also be a WIP session at the workshop, where presenters give</div>
<div>5-minute brief talks on their on-going work comprising fresh</div>
<div>problems/solutions that may not be mature or complete yet for paper</div>
<div>submission. A 1-page abstract is required as instructed on the workshop</div>
<div>web site.</div>
