[Storage-research-list] CFP: Petascale Data Storage Workshop (at SC09) submissions due Sept 18, 2009

[Garth Gibson]

Petascale Data Storage Workshop
Call for papers & posters
Sunday, November 15, 2009
9:00am - 5:30pm

Held in conjunction with SC09 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. This workshop seeks contributions on  
relevant topics, including but not limited to: performance and  
benchmarking results and tools, failure tolerance problems and  
solutions, APIs for high performance features, parallel file systems,  
high bandwidth storage architectures, wide area file systems, metadata  
intensive workloads, autonomics for HPC storage, virtualization for  
storage systems, data-intensive and cloud storage, archival storage  
advances, resource management innovations, etc.

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 up 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. The workshop proceedings will be  
published in association with SC09 in the ACM 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 should  
register their intentions, including a title and author list, through  
the paper submission web site no later than November 9, 2009. Further  
specifications for poster production will be available on the workshop  
web site.
