Description

 

The tremendous need for storage capacity and I/O performance has become a

critical factor for computing systems, generally, from enterprise systems to

computational science and everything in between. As a result, disk I/O and

data storage on which data reside have clearly become "first class citizens"

in the modern information world. In addition, parallelism is now ubiquitous

in computing, from multi-core processors within a single enclosure to

massively parallel I/O systems that span many racks of equipment. SNAPI08

brings together experts from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge

research on parallel and distributed data storage technologies, storage

interconnects, and storage management. 

 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 

*             Networked storage manageability, reliability, and availability

*             Networked storage performance and scalability

*             File systems, object-based storage, block-level storage

*             NAS and SAN architectures

*             Storage networking: e.g. Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, IP
Storage, iSCSI

*             Parallel I/O architectures

*             Caching and consistency

*             Evaluation of networked storage architectures

*             Storage management systems

*             Distributed metadata management

*             Integration of storage and computation

 

Author Instructions

 

Authors are invited to submit a manuscript of no longer than 8 single-spaced

pages (including figures, references, and appendices) using 10pt or larger

font. Submissions should be viewable by Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 3.0 or

higher), and should be emailed to snapi08 at wustl.edu. All accepted papers
will

be presented at the workshop, included in a workshop proceedings
