                Submissions must be no longer than five (5) two-column pages excluding references and should be submitted electronically via the submission form at https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://hotstorage24.hotcrp.com/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!fLgM0rvCt-AJkQNynfRT5r6QyXWORactw55t445zv4tCaeCC9mjLu_7M0cOzBObr68zhvRHRuZeNtHoZTIw$ . Indicating Paper Type. Authors must indicate one of two paper types in both the submission and on HotCRP: Position or Regular. Paper titles should be prefixed by their type in the submission. For example, "Position: XYZ". Position titles should explicitly state and argue for a position; the more interesting or forward-looking the position, the better the paper is a match for HotStorage. Position papers may be used to put forward a vision for storage systems. Regular papers might contain a new and interesting result that is at an early stage and not yet ready for a conference submission.

                Papers should be submitted electronically as a PDF. All text and figures must fit within a 7"x9" text block, centered on the page, using two columns with .33 inches of separation. The paper should be typeset using a 10-point font (Times New Roman or similar) with a 12-point (single-spaced) leading.
Please follow paper formatting instructions. The author kit, which contains the Latex style and template, is available here. Please ensure that your paper satisfies all the above requirements for content and formatting before submission; if you have a question about any of these issues, please email the program chairs chairs24 at hotstorage.org<mailto:chairs24 at hotstorage.org>.

                By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.
Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper.  ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors.  The collection process has started and will roll out as a requirement throughout 2022.  We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.

                For additional submission guidelines, please refer to https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.hotstorage.org/2024/cfp.html__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!fLgM0rvCt-AJkQNynfRT5r6QyXWORactw55t445zv4tCaeCC9mjLu_7M0cOzBObr68zhvRHRuZeN2sUIqf0$ .
