Call for Presentations
4th Non-Volatile Memories Workshop
March 3-5, 2013 - La Jolla, California USA
The 4th Annual Non-Volatile Memories Workshop (NVMW 2013) provides a unique showcase for outstanding
research on solid state, non-volatile memories. It features a "vertically integrated" program that
includes presentations on devices, data encoding, systems architecture, and applications related to
these exciting new data storage technologies. Last year's workshop (NVMW 2012) included 32 speakers
from top universities, industrial research labs, and device manufacturers and attracted nearly 200
attendees. (The website for NVMW 2012 can be found at http://nvmw.ucsd.edu/2012.) NVMW 2013 will
build on this success.
The organizing committee is soliciting presentations on any topic related to non-volatile, solid
state memories, including:
* Advances in memory devices or memory cell design.
* Characterization of commercial or experimental memory devices.
* Error correction and data encoding schemes for non-volatile memories.
* Advances in non-volatile memory-based storage system.
* Operating system and file system designs for non-volatile memories.
* Security and reliability of solid-state storage systems.
* Applications of non-volatile memories to scientific, "big data", and high-performance workloads.
* Implications of non-volatile memories for applications such as databases and NoSQL systems.
The goal is to facilitate the exchange of the latest ideas, insights, and knowledge that can propel
future progress. To that end, presentations may include new results or work that has already been
published during the 18 months prior to the submission deadline. In lieu of printed proceedings, we
will post the slides and extended abstracts of the presentations online. Presentation of new work at
the workshop does not preclude future publication.
Workshop submissions should be in the form of a 2-page presentation abstract. Submissions will be
evaluated on the basis of impact, novelty, and general interest.
The submission deadline is November 12th 2012, with notification of acceptance by January 31, 2013.
Further details on abstract submission, technical program, tutorials, travel, social program, and
travel grant will be provided on this website: http://nvmw.ucsd.edu.
