SYSTOR 2014 - 7th International Conference on Systems and Storage

SYSTOR promotes experimental and practical computer systems research, including the following topics:
operating systems, computer architecture, and their interactions
distributed, parallel, and cloud systems
networked, mobile, wireless, peer-to-peer, and sensor systems
runtime systems and compiler/programming-language support
energy/power management
file and storage systems
security, privacy, and trust
virtualization
embedded and real-time systems
fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
deployment, usage, and experience
performance evaluation and workload characterization
SYSTOR is a home for high-quality international systems research of a practical nature and welcomes both academic and industrial contributions. We solicit paper submissions in three separate categories:
Full papers: should report original, previously unpublished high-quality research, and be at most 10 pages of content, including everything except references, which may use additional pages. The program committee will review all submitted papers. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and included in the conference proceedings, to be published by a major society.
Short papers: should report original, previously unpublished work for which a full paper may not be suitable. Short paper submissions may report on smaller ideas; unconventional ideas that are still in a preliminary stage of development; interesting negative results; experimental (in)validation of previous findings; controversial positions that challenge common wisdom; and fresh approaches for addressing old problems. Short papers may be at most 5 pages, excluding references. They will undergo the same review process as full papers. If accepted, short papers will be allocated a shorter talk slot during the conference and will also be published in the conference proceedings.
Highlight papers: should contain exciting research results that have been accepted to a recent top-tier systems conference or journal. A small sub-committee will briefly review these submissions and will select the most suitable ones for SYSTOR. The corresponding presentations will then be "replayed" at SYSTOR for the benefit of the local community. A highlight paper submission should include the full citation of the published or accepted paper and a link to it. Accepted submissions will not be published in the proceedings.
