The Research Program Committee requests the submission of research papers on the implementation, design, and analysis of file and storage systems.

The 38^th IEEE Symposium on Massive Storage Systems and Technologies (MSST 2024) will be held at Santa Clara University, in the heart of Silicon Valley, from June 3 to 7, 2024, and offer a full week dedicated to storage technology. This year's conference will include a two-day research track of peer-reviewed papers on the design, implementation, and analysis of storage systems on June 6 and 7. This conference will be a top‐quality venue for presenting the latest research and development in storage systems and for meeting with colleagues from industry, academia, and government.

We encourage the submission of research papers on the implementation, design, and analysis of file and storage systems. Specific areas of interest for MSST 2024 include, but are not limited to:

• Exascale storage architecture and design
• Scalable metadata management
• Extremely scalable and distributed storage systems
• New memory technologies and interconnects
• Disaggregated memory and storage
• Heterogeneous memory/storage systems and deep memory/storage hierarchy
• Edge storage systems
• Storage for emerging applications
• Storage performance and quality of service
• Storage security and privacy
• Data protection and recovery
• Auditing and provenance
• Data compression and deduplication
• Data archiving
• Storage solutions usability
• Experiences with real-world systems and data storage challenges

As is traditional, MSST will solicit short (4-6 pages) and full (8-14 pages) papers. MSST values conciseness and encourages authors not to exploit the page limit to its fullest. A typical full research paper is 10 pages long. References are not included in page counts. All papers should be submitted via https://msst24.hotcrp.com. Paper formats should adhere to the IEEE conference templates available at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

The review process will be double-blind; authors must anonymize their submission. Upon submitting a paper, authors must also indicate conflicts with PC members:
