CALL FOR PAPERS

First Workshop On Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems (WOPSSS)
    Held jointly with ISC, Frankfurt, Germany June 23, 2016


** Deadline extended to April 21 **
** All accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings by Springer
** Extended versions of best papers will be published in the ACM SIGOPS
Journal

The Workshop On Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems (WOPSSS)
aims to present state-of-the-art research, innovative ideas, and experience
that focus on the design and implementation of HPC storage systems in both
academic and industrial worlds, with a special interest on their
performance analysis.

The arrival of new storage technologies and scales unseen in previous
practice lead to significant loss of performance predictability. This will
leave storage system designers, application developers and the storage
community at large in the difficult situation of not being able to
precisely detect bottlenecks, evaluate the room for improvement, or
estimate the matching of applications with a given storage architecture.

WOPSSS intends to encourage discussion of these issues through submissions
of researchers or practitioners from both academic and industrial worlds.

All accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings by Springer
Extended versions of the best papers will be published in the ACM SIGOPS (
http://www.sigops.org/osr.html) journal

** Topics of interest **
included but are not limited to:

- Storage systems modeling and analysis tools
- Feed-back and empirical evaluation of storage systems
- Application I/O characterization
- Parallel I/O and storage systems: consistency, caching, replication,
reliability and fault recovery overhead
- Network challenges and storage systems: Scalability, QoS, Partitionability
- Low latency storage systems usability and analysis: memory-only, Flash,
NVRAM, Storage Class Memory
- File system design
- Operating system stack optimization
- Cloud and distributed storage
