[hpc-announce] Call for Papers: Interfaces and Architectures for Scientific Data Storage (IASDS 2011)

[Rob Latham]

Announcing the Call for Papers for the 3rd Workshop on 
Interfaces and Architectures for Scientific Data Storage (IASDS)

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/iasds11 

Held in conjunction with IEEE Cluster 2011: 
http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/ieee/2011/index.php

Workshop Chair: Rob Latham, Mathematics and Computer Science Division,
   Argonne National Laboratory (robl at mcs.anl.gov)

=== Call for Papers === 

High-performance computing simulations and large scientific
experiments such as those in high energy physics generate tens of
terabytes of data, and these data sizes grow each year. Existing
systems for storing, managing, and analyzing data are being pushed to
their limits by these applications, and new techniques are necessary
to enable efficient data processing for future simulations and
experiments. 

This workshop will provide a forum for engineers and scientists to
present and discuss their most recent work related to the storage,
management, and analysis of data for scientific workloads. Emphasis
will be placed on forward-looking approaches to tackle the challenges
of storage at extreme scale or to provide better abstractions for use
in scientific workloads.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to 
- parallel file systems
- scientific databases
- active storage
- scientific I/O middleware
- extreme scale storage
