Call For Papers
Overview
The 25th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '27) brings together researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of systems related to storage. The program committee interprets storage-related systems broadly: submissions on low-level storage devices, distributed storage systems, information and data management, as well as other systems interconnected with storage are all of interest. The conference will consist of technical presentations including refereed papers and poster sessions.
Topics
The topics of interest to FAST are various aspects of systems related to storage, including both core storage topics and the application of storage to different application domains. These include and overlap with, but are not limited to, the following topics.
Core storage topics, such as:
File system design
Data caching, replication, and consistency
Erasure coding
Correctness, testing, and formal verification
Data deduplication and compression
Performance, orchestration, and QoS
Power-aware storage architectures
Reliability, availability, and disaster tolerance
Search and data retrieval
Security and privacy
Data governance, auditing, and provenance
Data sovereignty, mobility, and migration
Storage monitoring and troubleshooting
Data layouts and file formats
AI-driven storage management and self-tuning
Purpose-built storage systems, such as:
Archival storage systems
Database, Key-value, and NoSQL storage
Big data, analytics, and data lake storage
Storage for AI and scientific workloads
Storage for mobile, embedded, edge, and IoT systems
Scalable storage systems, such as:
HPC data management systems, parallel I/O
Distributed and networked storage (wide-area, grid, peer-to-peer)
Data management in cloud environments
Software-defined storage and hyperconverged infrastructure
Emerging storage technologies, such as:
Memory hierarchy designs and memory-only storage systems
Novel and emerging storage technologies (e.g., DNA and glass storage)
Deployment experience in areas such as:
Workload characterization
Empirical evaluation and experience with deployed storage systems
