Computational simulations generate vast amounts of data that require
distributed storage facilities to effectively store, retrieve, and share
the information among collaborating applications. Performance of such
simulations is impacted by the performance of the storage subsystem. =20
Storage technologies are also evolving drastically in order to keep up
with the ever-increasing demand for improved data access. Along with
complex simulations and associated storage come new challenges. The goal
of this workshop is to encourage innovation by addressing the complex =20
issues that arise in data storage associated with very large-scale
distributed applications. This one-day workshop promotes the exchange =
of
novel ideas, information and developments among universities, industry =
and
federal laboratories. Topics of interest of this workshop include (but =
are
not limited to) the illustration of advances in the following areas:
=20
* Parallel File Systems :
* Storage Technology and protocols
* Storage issues in Grid computing environments
* Storage issues associated with large-scale distributed applications
* I/O Performance Analysis;
* Parallel I/O support for databases.
=20
There will be several invited 30-minutes lectures as well as contributed
20-30 minutes talks. Accepted abstracts would be published in the
conference proceedings. Links to individual presenters materials will be
posted at http://ardra.hpcl.cis.uab.edu/sfast04/

To submit papers, send your manuscript (4 page extended abstract)
electronically (PS or PDF format, compressed) or by mail (3 paper =
copies)
