Peta- and exascale computing infrastructures make unprecedented demands 
on storage capacity, performance, concurrency, reliability, 
availability, and manageability. This one-day workshop focuses on the 
data storage and management problems and emerging solutions found in 
peta- and exascale scientific computing environments, with special 
attention to issues in which community collaboration can be crucial for 
problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, 
standards with community buy-in, and shared tools. Addressing storage 
media ranging from tape, HDD, and SSD, to new media like NVRAM, the 
workshop seeks contributions on relevant topics, including but not 
limited to:

- performance and benchmarking
- failure tolerance problems and solutions
- APIs for high performance features
- parallel file systems
- high bandwidth storage architectures
- support for high velocity or complex data
- metadata intensive workloads
- autonomics for HPC storage
- virtualization for storage systems
- archival storage advances
- resource management innovations
- incorporation of emerging storage technologies.

Paper Submissions:
The Parallel Data Storage Workshop holds a peer reviewed competitive 
process for selecting short papers. Submit a not previously published 
short paper of up to 5 pages, not less than 10 point font and not 
including references, in a PDF file as instructed on the workshop web 
site. Submitted papers will be reviewed under the supervision of the 
workshop program committee. Submissions should indicate authors and 
affiliations. Final papers must not be longer than 5 pages (excluding 
references). Selected papers and associated talk slides will be made 
available on the workshop web site; the papers will also be published in 
the digital library of the IEEE or ACM.

Paper Submission Deadline: Sun, Oct. 6, 2013, 11:59 pm EDT
Paper Notification: Fri, Oct. 25, 2013
Camera Ready Due: Wed, Nov. 13, 2013
Softcopy and Slides Due: Sat, Nov. 16, 2013, 5:00 pm ET, BEFORE the workshop

Poster Submissions:
There will also be a poster session at the workshop; accepted papers 
will ALWAYS be accepted for a poster. Others interested in presenting a 
related technical poster (posters with technical results for storage 
products are also encouraged) should submit a short poster abstract as 
instructed on the workshop web site.

Poster Submission Deadline: Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2013
Poster Notification: Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013
