The 16th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST ’18) brings together storage-system researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of storage systems. The program committee will interpret “storage systems” broadly; papers on low-level storage devices, distributed storage systems, and information management are all of interest. Taking place February 12-15, 2018 in Oakland, CA, the conference will consist of technical presentations including refereed papers, Work-in-Progress (WiP) reports, poster sessions, and tutorials.
