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 of 32 
presentations that include devices, data encoding, systems architecture, 
and applications related to these
exciting new data storage technologies.

The first day of the workshop (Sunday, the 6th) will include a tutorial 
on PCM technology by Moinuddin K Qureshi (IBM Research), Sudhanva 
Gurumurthi (University Of Virginia), and Bipin Rajendran (IBM Research).

The program of presentations will include talks by leading academic and
industrial researchers and engineers from Princeton, CMU, the University 
of Virginia, the University of Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, Qualcomm, 
Microsoft, Intel, IBM, HP, FusionIO, Grandis, and Lawrence Livermore 
National Labs, among many others.

The programming committee has selected presentations encompassing the 
following non-volatile-memory-related topics:

* Recent advances in flash, PCM, and STTM technologies.
* New schemes for error correction and data coding schemes in 
non-volatile, solid-state memory technologies.
* Novel approaches to SSD management, new application-level interfaces 
to solid-state storage.
* Emerging programming models for non-volatile computing.
* File and operating system issues.
* Blurring the line between block-devices and byte addressable memories.
* New storage array architectures.
* Experiences with SSDs in the data center.
