This list is intended to be used for annoucements of interest to the broadest storage systems research community. It is anticipated that this list will be used to annouce conferences, workshops, research funding opportunities, award nomination deadlines, research appointment openings, etc. Invitations to join this list have initially been sent to the invitee list for NSF's Aug 06 HECIWG workshop on storage. So far this weekend some 50 people have joined. Its now up to these people to help me find and invite the rest of the community, please. The information/joinup page for this list is at https://sos.ece.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/storage-research-list Archives, of which there are none to date, are at: http://sos.ece.cmu.edu/pipermail/storage-research-list/ Please forward to anyone you think would like to receive storage systems research announcements.

I would really like to get some submissions on storage security - are we really past the days of "johnny can't encrypt" with realistic, efficient and usable technology? I would also like some discussion of where grid storage meets distributed storage - have we advanced the research state-of-the-art past what AFS used to do? Finally, consumer storage has not been much-covered in the research community. Most of the research focus is on enterprise storage, although we all use more varied and bigger high-capacity storage gadgets each day. - Erik] Call For Submissions - Operating Systems Review Special Issue File and Storage Systems, January 2007 The fifth special topics issue of Operating Systems Reviews will be related to File and Storage Systems and Erik Riedel (erik.riedel @ seagate.com) will be the guest editor.
