IWSSPS 2006 Call for Papers

The 2nd International Workshop on Software Support for Portable Storage Organized with ACM EMSOFT'06 at the Embedded Systems Week 2006

Seoul, Korea, October 26, 2006 http://www.iwssps.org/iwssps2006/

*Introduction

After a successful first event in San Francisco in March 2005, this 2nd International Workshop on Software Support for Portable Storage will continue to provide a forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in the area of software support for portable storage. New emerging storage media such as Flash memory require extensive software support for higher performance, lower power, and value-added functionalities. The goal of this workshop is to bring together people from industry and academia who are interested in all aspects of software support for portable storage. Papers are solicited in all areas related to portable storage including, but not limited, to the following topics:

-File systems for portable storage -Interaction between file systems and portable storage -Flash memory storage designs -Power management for HDD 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 and review process

Papers in PDF or Postscript form should be submitted (method will be announced later; watch for updates on the web) no later than July 24th, 2006. Papers should follow the 2 column ACM conference format and should be 4-10 pages on 8.5x11.

The Program Committee will review submitted papers, and acceptance will be based on standard criterion of research merits. We also expect to select a few outstanding papers for presentation at a special session for software support for portable storage in EMSOFT'06. These selected papers will also be included in the EMSOFT'06 Proceedings.

*Important Dates:

Paper Submission: July 24th, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: August 7th, 2006 Camera-ready due: August 15th, 2006

Authors of accepted papers will be requested to register for IWSSPS 2006 for paper presentation. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at the EMSOFT'06 special session will be requested to register for EMSOFT'06 as well.
