[Storage-research-list] Call for papers: 2nd Workshop on Interfaces and Abstractions for Scientific Data Storage(IASDS)

Call for Papers: 2nd Workshop on Interfaces and Abstractions for 
Scientific Data Storage(IASDS)
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/iasds10

Held in conjunction with IEEE Cluster 2010
http://www.cluster2010.org/

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.

This workshop will 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 will be 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

Important Dates:
Paper Submission Deadline June 21, 2010
Author Notification July 30, 2010
Final Manuscript Due TBD
Workshop September 24, 2010
