• Archival storage systems
• Caching, replication, and consistency
• Database storage issues
• Designs with emerging storage devices
• Distributed I/O (wide-area, grid, peer-to-peer)
• Empirical evaluation of storage systems
• Experience with deployed systems
• Innovative file or data storage system design
• Manageability
• Mobile and personal storage
• Parallel I/O
• Reliability, availability, disaster tolerance
• Scalability
