ERSS: 2nd Workshop on Energy Consumption and Reliability of Storage Systems

June 5, 2012, San Jose, California, USA

 
in conjunction with
 

International Green Computing Conference - IGCC 2012
June 5-8, 2012,
San Jose, California, USA



 

Introduction

Large-scale computing infrastructures make unprecedented demands on information storage capacity, performance, energy consumption, reliability, and manageability. The increasing use of computers for saving valuable data imposes stringent energy consumption and reliability constraints on storage systems.  As the disk capacity improves, advanced techniques are being employed to proactively conserve energy while improving the reliability of the storage systems.

To this end, the Workshop on Energy Consumption and Reliability of Storage Systems, is being organized to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the challenges, opportunities, and approaches of energy-aware and reliable storage systems. This workshop focuses on the data storage problems and emerging solutions found in large-scale scientific and enterprise computing environments, with special attention to the issues concerning energy consumption and reliability of the storage systems.

Call For Papers

The workshop invites authors to submit papers describing original, unpublished, work in all areas of energy consumption and reliability storage systems that is not concurrently under review elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee.

The papers should not exceed five single-spaced pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, 11-point fonts, IEEE 8.5 x 11 inch) including everything, e.g., abstract, research description, figures, tables, and references.

Each paper will be refereed by independent reviewers. Submission is a definite commitment for at least one of the authors to register to attend IGCC (workshops are included) and present the paper if it is accepted.

The workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society along with the IGCC conference proceedings. 

Where to Submit?

Files should be submitted by following the instructions available at the EasyChair.
