The 31st International Conference on Massive Storage systems and Technologies (MSST 2015) will be held at Santa Clara University in the midst of Silicon Valley. The conference offers a full week dedicated to storage technology. As on previous occasions, the conference will include a two-day research track of peer-reviewed papers on the design, analysis, and implementation of and experience with storage systems.

We encourage the submission of research papers on the implementation, design, and analysis of file and storage systems. Specific areas of interest for the MSST 2014 Research Track 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 
Network storage architectures and their evaluation 
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 and privacy
Auditing and Provenance
Long-term data preservation and management 
File and storage systems for cold data
File systems for shingled magnetic recording drives 
File systems for solid state storage 
New solid state disk APIs: Object storage, key value store, memory mapping and other 
Non-volatile memory based storage class memory devices and systems 
Power and energy aspects of storage systems
Coding for large and distributed storage systems
Mobile and other specialized storage application domains

As is traditional, MSST will have short and full papers. Short papers are to be 4 - 6 pages in length, whereas full papers are 8 - 14 pages in length (not including references). Accepted full papers will be presented in a 30 minute session, short papers will be presented in a poster session with short (7 minutes) presentations.

Papers should be prepared in IEEE conference format. To minimize the amount of formatting work between submission and camera-copy drafts, authors may use the templates available at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Details about the program committee, the submission process and rules, and the conference organization, will be available at the conference website: http://www.storageconference.us/
