Distributed Storage Systems and Coding for BigData

Distributed Storage Systems and Coding for BigData

Introduction to workshop

        Mass storage is critical in the era of BigData. Dispersing a huge data file in a large-scale distributed storage 

system is necessary in order to enhance reliability and availability. By introducing redundancy in the system, we 

can protect the data integrity from node failures.As node failures occur frequently in large-scale storage system, a 

considerable volume of Internet traffic is dedicated to the repair of failed storage nodes. Several classes of 

distributed storage codes,such as regenerating codes,locally repairable codes and so on,are introduced recently 

to reduce this overhead and disk input/output cost. Nevertheless, there still remains substantial research work

for advancing distributed storage coding and systems in both theory and applications.This workshop will provide

a platform for academic researcher and industrial engineers to discuss and share their recent works and practical 

experiences.

Research topics included in the workshop

        Contributions devoted to the evaluation, optimization, or enhancement of distributed storage systems, as well

 as solutions for mass storage,are solicited. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Cloud storage and distributed storage system
• Erasure Codes for BigData
• Distributed I/O (wide-area, grid, peer-to-peer)
• Experience and empirical evaluation of deployed systems
• Solid-state drive (e.g., flash, PCM) in large-scale storage
• RAID and erasure coding
• Repair bandwidth and regenerating codes
• Locally repairable codes
• Storage management and security
• Power-aware storage architectures and technologies
• File system design
• Deduplication
• Key-value and NoSQL storage
• Memory-only storage systems
• Reliability, availability, and disaster recovery
• Search and data retrieval
