Conference Description

Scope and Motivation

Data storage is at the core of the information technology revolution, from the smartphones to data centers in the cloud. Flash memories, new non-volatile memory technologies, and distributed storage network technologies are combined to provide ubiquitous access to data and computing closer to storage devices. However, these new and existing systems pose novel problems of storage density, reliability, efficiency, security, and privacy. Data detection, communications, signal processing and coding techniques form the foundation for solving these problems. While storage channel models are fundamentally communication channels and networks, the new devices and system architectures create new technical challenges that need to be addressed before their potential can be fully realized.
In parallel, new computation technologies, such as big data analytics, machine learning, and blockchain, are having a significant influence on the cloud. These challenges enforce cooperation of various players in the Cloud system, each of which focuses on a different segment such as computing, network, applications, and systems.
