Deadline for Submission of Paper EXTENDED!
[December 15, 2010] Deadline of Paper submission extended to December 25, 2010
Recently, new storage media such as flash memory
have been developed very quickly, which brings big challenges to the
architecture of computer systems as well as the design of system
software. In particular, NAND flash (either SLC- or MLC-based) in
the form of solid state disks (SSDs) has been an alternative to
traditional magnetic disks, both in the home-user environment and in
the enterprise computing environment, due to its shock-resistance,
low power consumption, non-volatile, and high I/O speed. The special
features of flash memory and other new storage media impose new
challenges to traditional data management technologies. As a result,
traditional database architectures and algorithms designed for
magnetic-disk-based storage fail to utilize new storage media
efficiently. Meanwhile, the new characteristics of modern storage
media, such as not-in-place update and asymmetric read/write/erase
latencies of flash memory, also bring great challenges in optimizing
database performance, by using new querying algorithms, indexes,
buffer management schemes, and new transaction processing protocols.
Consequently, exploiting the characteristics of flash memory and
other new storage media has become an important topic of database
systems research.
In order to make database systems adapt automatically to the
characteristics of flash memory and other new storage media, the
data management community needs to rethink traditional underlying
storage architecture, query processing algorithms, indexing
mechanism, buffer management schemes as well as many traditional
issues in magnetic-disk-oriented database systems to adapt to the
advances in the underlying storage infrastructure.
The aim of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers
who are interested in optimizing database performance on flash
memory or other new storage media based storage infrastructure by
designing new data management techniques and tools.
