* Cloud storage
* Data-intensive applications
* Database storage
* Designs with solid state devices
* Distributed I/O (wide-area, grid, peer-to-peer)
* Empirical evaluation of storage systems
* Experience with deployed systems
* File system design
* Mobile and personal storage
* Parallel I/O
* Power-aware storage architectures
* Reliability, availability, and disaster tolerance

reports, which will include preliminary results and "outrageous"
opinion statements, as well as a
poster session. We are particularly interested in presentations of
student work. Please send WiP submissions to fast10wips at usenix.org.
