Regards, Ric -------- Original Message -------- Subject: FAST '12 Call for Papers Submission Deadline Approaching (50110) Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:26:25 -0700 (PDT) From: Jason.Flinn@xxxxxxxxxx Reply-To: Jason.Flinn@xxxxxxxxxx To: ricwheeler@xxxxxxxxx Dear Ric Wheeler, We're writing to remind you that the submission deadline for the 10th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '12) is approaching. Please submit all paper titles and abstracts by Tuesday, September 20, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. EDT, and complete papers by Tuesday, September 27, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. EDT. http://www.usenix.org/fast12/cfpb/ FAST '12 brings together storage system researchers and practitioners to explore the latest in file and storage technology. In addition to a new short-paper track, the conference will consist of technical presentations, including refereed papers, Work-in-Progress (WiP) reports, poster sessions, and tutorials. Beginning this year, FAST will also feature a short-paper track. Short papers must represent completed work and will be reviewed to the same quality standards as full papers. They should describe smaller ideas that can be fully expressed in half the space of a full-length paper. Short papers will be published in the proceedings, and authors will be allocated a (shorter) talk slot during the conference. The program committee will not accept a full paper on the condition that it is cut down to fit in a short paper slot, nor will it invite short papers to be extended to full length. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Archival storage systems * Auditing and provenance * Caching, replication, and consistency * Cloud storage * Data-intensive applications * Database storage * Distributed I/O (wide-area, grid, peer-to-peer) * Empirical evaluation of storage systems * Experience with deployed systems * File-system design * Key-value and "nosql" storage * Mobile and personal storage * Parallel I/O * Power-aware storage architectures * Reliability, availability, and disaster tolerance * Search and data retrieval * Solid state storage technologies and uses (e.g., flash, PCM) * Storage for virtualized environments * Storage management * Storage networking * Storage performance and QoS * Storage security * The challenges of "big data" For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/fast12/cfpb/ We look forward to receiving your submissions!
