the area of non-volatile memory systems and emerging memory technologies.

This year, we received a record high number of 37 submissions ranging
from device and circuit design, architecture, system software to
applications. The acceptance rate is 32% for the long presentation
papers and 46% including the short presentation papers. Besides the
regular sessions, NVMSA 2018 has two invited sessions titled "ImPACT
