 Call for Papers: SYSTOR 2010— The 3rd Annual Haifa Experimental Systems
                               Conference
                             24–26 May 2010

The IBM Haifa Research Lab and the IBM Systems and Technology Group Lab, in
collaboration with Caesarea Rothschild Institute (CRI)
at the University of Haifa are organizing SYSTOR 2010, a successor to the
highly successful SYSTOR conference and workshops on systems and storage
held at the IBM Haifa Research Lab. The goal of the conference is to
promote systems research and foster stronger ties between the Israeli and
worldwide systems research communities and industry. Therefore,
international submissions are specially encouraged.
SYSTOR 2010 will be a three-day conference.

Keynote speakers: Prof. Idit Keidar from Technion and Prof. David Kaeli
from Northeastern University, recently awarded IEEE Fellow.

Submissions of a practical and experimental nature are solicited.
The conference is open to all systems research topics, including (but not
limited to):

* General computer systems issues in operating systems, architecture,
memory hierarchy, compilation, hypervisors and embedded systems
* Distributed systems such as peer-to-peer systems, sensor networks and
overlays, faulttolerance, and resource allocation
* Storage systems issues related to long-term preservation, archival
storage, Internet-scale storage, replication and consistency, designs with
solid-state devices and phase-change memory
* Cross-cutting issues such as workload modeling, performance metrics,
power consumption, security, usability, and experience with real systems
and failures
* Performance aspects of computing systems with emphasis on end-to-end
performance issues, analysis, improvements and detection, including
performance tools that address these aspects.

In particular, we would like to emphasize the following themes:
* Cloud systems: security, consistency and reliability, storage
architectures, performance tooling.
* Virtualization infrastructure and virtualization-aware system design.
* Multi-core architectures and the operating system facilities and
programming environments that use them.
* Power consumption and management
* Managing the explosive growth in storage and the increasing need to
store, find and manage data for long periods.

Papers should report original research or describe the technologies behind
real products and the
considerations that shaped the product’s design and functionality. If part
of the material submitted
was published previously, the paper should so indicate and should provide
substantial additional
results and material.

Submissions

Paper submissions should be up to 14 pages in 11 pt font, in PDF format. To
submit, please use
the conference submission website. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the
program committee.
Proceedings including all accepted papers will be published by ACM in the
ACM Digital Library.

Important Dates

 * Submission: January 31, 2010
 * Notification: March 20, 2010
 * Final Version: April 10, 2010

Student Activities

As part of the conference, students will have the opportunity to interact
with senior researchers
and obtain feedback on their research. To promote such interactions, we
will have a poster session
where students present their work. We will also have a lunch where members
of the program
committee and IBM researchers will be matched with students for more
intensive interaction.

Venue and Social Event

The conference will be held in the lovely city of Haifa, which overlooks
the Mediterranean Sea, and is home to Jews, Muslims, Christians and
Baha’is.
Systor 2010 excursion activities will include trips and museum tours
focusing on the historical periods of the holy land via special visits
to Hecht museum, Jordan river, Sea of Galilee and amazing sites in the old
city of Jerusalem.
The conference will take place at the IBM Research Lab in Haifa and in
locations at the Haifa University
