[Storage-research-list] IASDS workshop at Cluster 2009, deadline extended to 6/19!

[Rob Ross]

Hi all,

[ Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ]

Workshop on Interfaces and Architectures for Scientific Data Storage  
(IASDS09)
   http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/iasds09/

Held in conjunction with IEEE Cluster 2009
   http://www.cluster2009.org

Friday September 4, 2009
New Orleans, LA, USA

Call for Papers

High-performance computing simulations and large scientific  
experiments such as those in high energy physics generate tens of  
terabytes of data, and these data sizes grow each year. Existing  
systems for storing, managing, and analyzing data are being pushed to  
their limits by these applications, and new techniques are necessary  
to enable efficient data processing for future simulations and  
experiments.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for engineers and  
scientists to present and discuss their most recent work related to  
the storage, management, and analysis of data for scientific  
workloads. Emphasis is placed on forward-looking approaches to tackle  
the challenges of storage at extreme scale or to provide better  
abstractions for use in scientific workloads.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- parallel file systems
- scientific databases
- active storage
- scientific I/O middleware
- extreme scale storage

Registration fee for the workshop will be included as part of the  
Cluster 2009 conference registration fee.

Paper Submission:

Papers must be submitted via our EasyChair web site in PDF format:
   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iasds09

Workshop papers will be peer-reviewed and will appear as part of the  
IEEE
Cluster 2009 proceedings. Submissions must follow the Cluster 2009  
format:

Since the camera-ready version of accepted papers must be compliant  
with the IEEE Xplore format for publication, submitted papers must  
conform to the following Xplore layout, page limit, and font size.  
This will insure a size consistency and a uniform layout for the  
reviewers. (With minimal changes, accepted document can be styled for  
publication according to Xplore requirements explained in the Xplore  
formatting guide, which is also in Xplore format).

- Maximum 10 pages
- Single-spaced
- 8.5x11-inch, Two-column numbered pages in IEEE Xplore format
- Format instructions are available at:
   - IEEE Paper LaTeX Template (ZIP file)
     http://www.cluster2009.org/IEEE_Paper_LaTeX_Template_LETTER_V3.zip
   - IEEE Paper Word Template (ZIP file)
     http://www.cluster2009.org/IEEE_Paper_Word_Template_LETTER_V3.zip

In the event of problems with paper submission, please contact Robert  
Ross (rross at mcs.anl.gov).
