[Storage-research-list] HEC FSIO 2007 Workshop Document and Roadmaps Available

[James Nunez]

The High End Computing Inter-Agency Working Group Technical Advisory 
Group on File Systems and I/O (HEC FSIO) was created to advise in 
coordination of government R&D funding in HEC File Systems and I/O area 
so that the government's investment in this area of HEC is well spent, 
reduces gaps and overlaps. We are attempting to enable more and better 
R&D and pass along the knowledge to the next generation.

Each year the HEC FSIO holds a workshop to catalog existing government 
funded, and other relevant, research in this area, list top research 
areas that need to be addressed in the coming years both short and long 
term, determine where gaps and overlaps exist, and recommend the most 
pressing future short and long term research areas and needs and other 
actions necessary to ensure a well coordinated set of government funded 
research in this area. The summary document from the third annual HEC 
FSIO Workshop is available at http://institutes.lanl.gov/hec-fsio/docs/
In particular, the 2007 Road maps summary, which is the HECIWG Technical 
Advisory Groups's view on what research is currently being done, what 
areas need research efforts and what areas have sufficient research 
taking place, may be of interest to researchers.
