2nd Non-Volatile Memories Workshop
March 6-8, 2011
La Jolla, California, USA

Organizers
  Steven Swanson, UCSD CSE
  Paul Siegel, UCSD ECE/CMRR

The 2nd Annual Non-Volatile Memories Workshop (NVMW 2011) provides a unique
showcase for outstanding research on solid state, non-volatile memories.  It
features a "vertically integrated" program that includes presentations on
devices, data encoding, systems architecture, and applications related 
to these
exciting new data storage technologies.  The inaugural workshop (NVMW 2010)
included 29 speakers from top universities, industrial research labs, 
and device
manufacturers and attracted 130 attendees. (An archival website for NVMW 
2010
can be found at http://nvmw.ucsd.edu/2010.)  NVMW 2011 will build on
this success, offering an expanded technical program intended for a wider
audience.

The organizing committee is soliciting presentations on any topic related to
non-volatile, solid state memories, including:

* Advances in memory devices or memory cell design.
* Characterization of commercial or experimental memory devices.
* Error correction and data encoding schemes for non-volatile memories.
* Advances in non-volatile memory-based storage systems.
* New applications of non-volatile memories.
* Operating system and file system designs for non-volatile memories
* Non-volatile storage system performance measurements.
* Security and reliability of solid-state storage systems.

The goal is to facilitate the exchange of the latest ideas, insights, and
knowledge that can propel future progress. To that end, presentations may
include new results or work that has already been published during the 
18 months
prior to the submission deadline. In lieu of printed proceedings, we 
will post
the slides and extended abstracts of the presentations online. 
Presentation of
new work at the workshop does not preclude future publication.

Workshop submissions should be in the form of a 2-page presentation 
abstract.
Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of impact, novelty, and general
interest.  The submission deadline is December 17, 2010, with 
notification of
acceptance by January 31, 2011.

Further details on abstract submission, technical program, tutorials, 
travel,
social program, and travel grants will be provided at the workshop website:
