CALL FOR PAPERS

=====================================================
The Third International Workshop on Software Support
for Portable Storage (IWSSPS 2008)

http://www.iwssps.org

October 23, 2008.
Atlanta, Georgia, USA. (Co-located with EMSOFT 2008)
=====================================================

New emerging storage media such as Flash memory require extensive software 
support for higher performance and reliability, lower power consumption, 
and value-added functionalities. The main goal of the International 
Workshop on Software Support for Portable Storage (IWSSPS) is to bring 
together people from industry and academia who are interested in all 
aspects of software support for portable storage. 

The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: 
  
- File systems for portable storage 
- Interaction between file systems and portable storage 
- Flash memory storage designs 
- Solid state disks (SSDs) 
- Power management for HDDs including microdrives 
- DRM (Digital Right Management) for portable storage 
- Security support for portable storage 
- Distributed mobile storage 
- Software support for new non-volatile memories (FRAM, MRAM, etc.) 
- Software reliability for portable storage 
- Software fault tolerance techniques for portable storage 
- Novel applications of portable storage 

Paper Submission 
================

[Technical Session]

All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers in PDF format 
should be submitted electronically through the conference management system 
that can be accessed at 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwssps2008 no later than July 31,

2008. The papers should be prepared using the 2-column ACM conference 
format, and no longer than 6 pages. 

All the papers submitted to the technical session will be reviewed by the 
program committee and acceptance will be based on standard criterion of 
research merits. Submission of the paper implies that should the paper be 
accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper 
at the workshop. Submission inquiries should be sent to the program chair 
(jinsoo at cs.kaist.ac.kr). 

[Work-In-Progress (WIP) Session]

This year IWSSPS 2008 will feature a special Work-In-Progress (WIP) session 
in order to present and discuss preliminary research outcomes, novel 
research questions, approaches, and directions. The specific aim of this 
WIP session is to provide a forum for early feedback on new or ongoing 
research. Contributors to the WIP session should send a two-page proposal 
directly to wip-submit at iwssps.org by August 15, 2008. Acceptances for the 
WIP session will be announced by September 5, 2008. Authors of the accepted 
proposals will be asked to prepare powerpoint slides no longer than 15 
pages and to give a presentation in the WIP session. We would welcome 
contributions to the WIP session not only from academia, but also from 
industry.
