DSTA 2013 - Data Storage Technology and Applications Symposium

The Data Storage Technology and Applications Symposium will focus on topics related to all aspects of data storage
systems, including signal processing, coding, data storage systems and architectures, and security. Of special
interest are papers reporting on novel and practical solutions for existing architectures as well as emerging
technologies. To ensure complete coverage of the advances in data storage technologies, the Data Storage
Technology and Applications Symposium presents original contributions in, but not limited to, the following areas:
? Signal processing and coding techniques for magnetic recording systems, including timing recovery,
equalization, detection and error correction.
? Physical layer design/architecture of interface of data storage systems and high speed serial link
communication systems such as SAS, SATA and PCI express and serdes.
? Channel characterization of emerging nonvolatile technologies such as NAND flash and phase change
memory.
? Coding and information theory techniques for new non-volatile memories, including algebraic and graphbased codes (such as BCH and LDPC codes) and their performance evaluation.
? Investigation of endurance and wear-leveling for non-volatile memories.
? System-on-chip (SOC) architecture and optimization.
? Data storage systems and architectures for cloud computing.
? Analysis of cost versus performance, power issues for data storage centers.
? Architectures for disk arrays.
? Coding, deduplication, compression and data security for storage systems.
? Storage management and inter-operability.
? Data compression for digital storage, including audio and video signal processing and coding methods.
? Measurement, testing, and performance optimization of storage systems.
? New concepts for data storage systems
