===================================================================

The 29th IEEE Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies (MSST
2013)
will offer a full week dedicated to storage technology. This year's
conference
will include a research track of peerreviewed papers on the design,
implementation,
and analysis of storage systems, and experiences with storage systems on
May 9th
and 10th. This conference will be an excellent venue for presenting the
latest
research and developments in storage systems and offers a unique
opportunity for
meeting with colleagues from industry, academia, and government.

We encourage the submission of research papers on the implementation,
design,
and analysis of file and storage systems. Specific areas of interest for
the
MSST 2013 Research Track include (but are not limited to):

* Performance modeling and analysis of storage systems
* Experiences with real-world systems and data storage challenges
* Management of new and upcoming storage technologies
* Cloud storage systems and global-scale storage
* Exascale storage architecture and design
* Evaluation of networked storage architectures
* Data protection and recovery
* Data archiving
* Storage in virtualized environments
* Storage systems modeling and evaluation
* Techniques for building extremely scalable and distributed storage systems
* Parallel and distributed file systems
* Scalable metadata management
* Storage security, privacy, and provenance
* Long-term data preservation and management


Important Dates
---------
Abstracts due January 18, 2013
Paper submissions due January 25, 2013
Notification March 8, 2013
Final papers due March 29, 2013
Research Track May 9–10, 2013

Submission Instructions
----------
Submissions will be handled with an online submission system; detailed
instructions
are available from the conference web site. Paper abstracts are due a week
before
full paper submissions. Abstract submission is mandatory; while the
abstract may
change slightly before final paper submission, the initial submission must
reflect
the content of the full paper. Submissions must meet the formatting
guidelines
posted on the conference web site. Full 8–14 page papers will be considered
for
both full 30 minute presentations and the poster session; please indicate
on your
paper submission form if you do not want your paper to be considered for
the poster
session. Short paper submissions of 3–5 pages in length will only be
considered for
the poster session.
All papers will receive full, detailed reviews from at least 3 PC members,
with
acceptance notification provided by March 8. Authors of accepted papers
must submit
camera-ready copy incorporating reviewers’ feedback by March 29. In
addition,
at least one author must register to present the paper at the conference.
Submissions to MSST must not be previously published or currently under
submission
to another venue, and must not include plagiarized material. The MSST
conference
takes these rules very seriously and may take action against authors who
violate them;
such actions may include bans on future submissions and/or notification of
the
authors’ employers. Questions about technical papers may be directed to the
research
program co-chairs: Ahmed Amer (a.amer at acm.org) and Theodore M. Wong (
theowong at us.ibm.com).
