SYSTOR 2011, the 4th Annual International Systems and Storage Conference,
promotes computer systems and storage research, and will take place in
Haifa, Israel. SYSTOR fosters close ties between the Israeli and worldwide
systems research communities, and brings together academia and industry.

 We have a high quality program. We have 16 refereed papers, chosen after a
selective and rigorous review process, which resulted in an acceptance rate
of 30%.  We have three renowned keynote speakers, Hank Levy (University of
Washington), Kai Li (Princeton University) and Daniel Keren (Haifa
University), as well as an invited talk on Watson by Dafna Sheinwald and
David Carmel (IBM). In addition, this year two highlights talks, which were
given at other international conferences during the last year, will be
replayed at SYSTOR. Full program details are available at
https://www.research.ibm.com/haifa/conferences/systor2011/program.shtml

The conference will also have a poster session highlighting work in
progress from academia and industry.  The conference encourages social
networking and interaction, and there will be a networking session as well
as a trip including a tour of ancient Caesarea and dinner. For more details

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. The conference will take place at IBM Research - Haifa.
