Fifth Annual Workshop on
I/O in Parallel and Distributed Systems
(IOPADS)
November 17, 1997, San Jose, CA, USA
co-located with
SC97: High Performance Networking and Computing
Current Sponsors: ACM SIGACT, SIGARCH, SIGMETRICS, and SIGOPS,
and in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN
URL: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/iopads
IOPADS brings together researchers in all aspects of storage-related
I/O in parallel and distributed systems, including algorithms,
applications, architecture, and systems software. It is our opinion
that the research problems are most effectively addressed by
investigating all these areas rather than working in each area in
isolation. Although I/O-related papers appear in many other
conferences, the value of IOPADS is in gathering interested
researchers from all these areas of computer science, encouraging
cross-disciplinary interaction.
IOPADS '96 was held in conjunction with the FCRC group of
conferences and was a huge success. IOPADS '97 will be co-located
with SC97 (the 1997 entry in the former "Supercomputing 'XY" series).
We expect that ACM Press will again publish the IOPADS proceedings,
which will be provided to all registrants and will be available for
sale at SC97 and afterwards.
We invite you to submit papers that focus on storage-related I/O in
high-performance parallel and distributed systems, in the context of
parallel or distributed applications. Suggested topics include:
* Experimental characterization of I/O demand
* Design and implementation of I/O-intensive applications
* Real-time and multimedia I/O
* Theory and implementation of parallel-I/O algorithms
* Interconnect issues, e.g., network-attached storage devices
* Devices, including disk arrays and tape robots
* Language and compiler support
* Run-time libraries
* Database systems
* File systems
Papers submitted to IOPADS must be unpublished and must not be
submitted for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should be written
in English, at most twelve pages long (including figures, tables, and
excluding references), single- or double-spaced, using an
11-point font. Electronic submission (of PostScript) is required
(details will be posted; check the web page). All submissions must
arrive by 6 P.M. Eastern Time on March 25, 1997. Decisions will be
announced by June 1, 1997.
