The 31st International Conference on Massive Storage systems and
Technologies (MSST 2015) will be held at Santa Clara University in the
midst of Silicon Valley. The conference offers a full week dedicated to
storage technology. As on previous occasions, the conference will include a
two-day research track of peer-reviewed papers on the design, analysis, and
implementation of and experience with storage systems.

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 2014 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
Network storage architectures and their evaluation
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 and privacy
Auditing and Provenance
Long-term data preservation and management
File and storage systems for cold data
File systems for shingled magnetic recording drives
File systems for solid state storage
New solid state disk APIs: Object storage, key value store, memory mapping
and other
Non-volatile memory based storage class memory devices and systems
Power and energy aspects of storage systems
Coding for large and distributed storage systems
Mobile and other specialized storage application domains

As is traditional, MSST will have short and full papers. Short papers are
to be 4 - 6 pages in length, whereas full papers are 8 - 14 pages in length
(not including references). Accepted full papers will be presented in a 30
minute session, short papers will be presented in a poster session with
short (7 minutes) presentations.

Papers should be prepared in IEEE conference format. To minimize the amount
of formatting work between submission and camera-copy drafts, authors may
use the templates available at:

Details about the program committee, the submission process and rules, and
the conference organization, will be available at the conference website:
