Although I/O-related papers appear in many conferences, IOPADS gathers interested I/O researchers from all areas of computer science, encouraging cross-disciplinary interaction. IOPADS solicits research papers that focus on storage-related I/O in high-performance parallel and distributed systems, emphasizing parallel or distributed applications. Relevant topics include: Experimental I/O characterization Design and analysis of I/O-intensive applications Parallel file system design and analysis Real-time and multimedia I/O Theory and implementation of parallel I/O algorithms I/O architecture design and evaluation Storage device design and analysis Language and compiler support Run-time libraries Database and information systems Data security and authentication Papers submitted to IOPADS must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should be written in English, at most twelve pages long (including figures, tables, and excluding references), single- or double-spaced, using an 11-point font. Electronic submission of Postscript is required; detailed submission instructions are on the WWW site. All submissions must arrive by 6 PM Central Time on November 23, 1998. Decisions will be announced by January 8, 1999. Accepted papers will appear in the IOPADS proceedings, to be published by ACM. General Chairs ============== Thomas H.
