DS2 2009, the 4th International Workshop on Data Storage Devices and Systems, will be held at the Kyung Hee University, Yongin (Korea), 29 June-2 July 2008. This annual workshop provides a forum in which to present research results in all areas related to the design, development, and evaluation of storage devices and systems. DS2 2008 builds on the success of previous workshops in this series held in Perugia, Italy (June 2008), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (August 2007), and in Glasgow, Scotland (May 2006).

Scope:

Original research contributions are solicited covering a variety of topics including but not limited to:

* Non-volatile memory storage devices and systems
* Empirical evaluation of storage systems
* Experience with deployed systems
* Mobile and personal storage
* Distributed I/O (wide-area, grid, peer-to-peer)
* Parallel I/O
* Low-power design
* Security and privacy
* Storage networking
* Virtualization
* Novel applications
