[hpc-announce] WOPSSS'17 - Call for Papers

Tue Feb 28 02:26:53 CST 2017

Second Workshop On Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems (WOPSSS)

     Held jointly with ISC, Frankfurt, Germany June 22, 2017
                        http://www.wopsss.org

** Submission deadline March 31 **

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.

** 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

** Important Dates **

Submission deadline     March 31
Author notification     April 30
Camera Ready            June 15
Workshop                June 22

** Submission Guidelines **
Papers need to be submitted via Easychair 
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wopsss2017)
Authors are invited to submit papers are required to be formatted in 
Springer single column LNCS style 
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0)
and within 10 pages, excluding the references.
The submissions are "single-blind", i.e. submissions are allowed to 
include the author names.

The workshop is held in conjunction with the ISC-HPC during the ISC 
workshop day. WOPSSS is co-organized with HPC-IODC workshop in order to 
create a full day event focused on I/O and storage. See 
http://isc-hpc-io.org.  Our cooperation includes the alignment of 
sessions and the potential to shift papers between the two workshops. We 
encourage participants to take the opportunity to attend both events.
