MSST 2015 - 31st International Conference on Massive Storage Systems and Technologies

MSST (2015), as is our custom, will dedicate a full week to computer-storage technology, including a day of tutorials, two days of invited papers, and two days of peer-reviewed research papers. The conference will be held, once again, on the beautiful campus of Santa Clara University, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
The Program Committee also requests the submission of research papers on the implementation, design, and analysis of file and storage systems. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Performance modeling and analysis of storage systems
? Experiences with real-world systems and data storage challenges
? Management of new and upcoming storage technologies
? Cloud storage systems and global-scale storage
? Exascale storage architecture and design
? Evaluation of networked storage architectures
? Data protection and recovery
? Data archiving
? Storage in virtualized environments
? Storage systems modeling and evaluation
? Techniques for building extremely scalable and distributed storage systems
? Parallel and distributed file systems
? Scalable metadata management
? Storage security, privacy, and provenance? Long-term data preservation and management
? Disk and Flash based cold storage systems
? File systems for cold storage
? File systems for shingled magnetic recording hard disk drives
? File systems for solid state disk drives
? New solid state disk APIs: Object storage, key value store, memory mapping
? Phase change memory based storage class memory devices and systems
