[Storage-research-list] USENIX FAST '10 WiPs and Posters Submission Deadline Approaching

[Lionel Garth Jones]

We're writing to remind you that the submissions deadline is approaching
for the Work-in-Progress (WiPs) reports and poster session at the 8th
USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '10).

Please submit your proposals by Thursday, January 28, 2010, 11:59 p.m.
PST. Submission guidelines for both WiPs and posters are available at
http://www.usenix.org/events/fast10/activities.html

Work-in-Progress Reports:
The FAST technical sessions will include a session for Work-in-Progress
reports, preliminary results, and "outrageous" opinion statements. We
are particularly interested in presentations of student work.

Poster Session:
Held in conjunction with a happy hour, the poster session will allow
researchers to present recent and ongoing projects. The poster session
is an excellent forum to discuss new ideas and get useful feedback from
the community.

By default, a single submission will be considered for BOTH the WiP and
poster sessions, to encourage extended discussion of your ideas. If,
however, you only are interested in submitting a proposal for either a
WiP or a poster, but not both, please indicate your preference in your
submission.

FAST '10 takes place February 23-26, 2010, in San Jose, California.

The program begins with tutorials on topics such as storage
virtualization and solid-state storage:

FAST '10 also includes 21 technical papers and keynotes by Eric Brewer,
University of California, Berkeley, on "Technology for Developing
Regions," and by Oliver Ratzesberger, eBay, Inc., on "Enterprise
Analytics on Demand."

The full program is available at
