Specific areas of interest for MSST 2024 include, but are not limited to:
- Exascale storage architecture and design
- Scalable metadata management
- Extremely scalable and distributed storage systems
- New memory technologies and interconnects
- Disaggregated memory and storage
- Heterogeneous memory/storage systems and deep memory/storage hierarchy
- Edge storage systems
- Storage for emerging applications
- Storage performance and quality of service
- Storage security and privacy
- Data protection and recovery
- Auditing and provenance
- Data compression and deduplication
- Data archiving
- Storage solutions usability
- Experiences with real-world systems and data storage challenges

=====================================================================================================
Submission Instructions:
As is traditional, MSST will solicit short (4-6 pages) and full (8-14 pages) papers. MSST values conciseness and encourages authors
not to exploit the page limit to its fullest. A typical research paper is 10 pages long. References are not included in page counts.
The review process will be double-blind; authors must anonymize their submissions. Upon submitting a paper, authors must also
indicate conflicts with PC members. Submission procedures will be published soon. Paper formats should adhere to the IEEE
conference templates available at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
