Overview
----
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

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).
