### WORKSHOP ABSTRACT ### 

The 5th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop (PDSW’20). PDSW'20 will be hosted in conjunction with SC20: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis. 

Efficient data storage and data management are crucial to scientific productivity in both traditional simulation-oriented HPC environments and Big Data analysis environments. This issue is further exacerbated by the growing volume of experimental and observational data, the widening gap between the performance of computational hardware and storage hardware and the emergence of new data-driven algorithms in machine learning. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate research that addresses the most critical challenges in scientific data storage and data processing.
