[Storage-research-list] CFP: Petascale Data Storage Workshop 2008 (at SC08) Austin TX Mon Nov 17 2008

[Garth Gibson]

Petascale Data Storage Workshop

Monday November 17 2008, 8:30am - 5pm

Held in conjunction with SC08 and sponsored by the DOE SciDAC  
Petascale Data Storage Institute (PDSI)

Workshop Abstract:
Petascale computing infrastructures make petascale demands on  
information storage capacity, performance, concurrency, reliability,  
availability, and manageability. This one-day workshop focuses on the  
data storage problems and emerging solutions found in petascale  
scientific computing environments, with special attention to issues in  
which community collaboration can be crucial, problem identification,  
workload capture, solution interoperability, standards with community  
buy-in, and shared tools.

Paper Submission Website: http://www.pdsi-scidac.org/events/PDSW08/
Paper (extended abstract in pdf format) due Fri Sept. 26, 2008
Notification: Mon Oct. 20, 2008
Softcopy and slides due Nov. 16 BEFORE the workshop

Paper Submission Details:
The petascale data storage workshop holds a peer reviewed competitive  
process for selecting extended abstracts and short papers. Submit a  
not previously published extended abstract of 2 to 5 pages, not less  
than 10 point font, in a PDF file as instructed on the workshop web  
site. Submitted papers will be reviewed under the supervision of the  
workshop program committee. Submissions should indicate authors and  
affiliations. Selected papers and associated talks will be made  
available on the workshop web site. Selected final papers may be  
longer than in submission, but not longer than 10 pages. The workshop  
proceedings will be published in association with SC08 in the IEEE  
digital library and talk slides will be made available on the workshop  
web site.

Poster Presentations:
There will also be a poster presentation opportunity at the workshop.   
Parties interested in presenting a related technical poster (posters  
with technical results for storage products are also encouraged)  
should submit a paragraph or two proposal describing a poster's  
contents through the above web site no later than November 7, 2008.   
Poster acceptance will be communicated on or before November 10, 2008.
