Join the top storage systems researchers and practitioners, at FAST, the
premier forum for discussing the design, implementation, and uses of
storage systems. FAST will be the successor to IOPADS, which for several
years was the top conference dedicated to parallel and distributed I/O
systems.

The FAST program, represents some of the outstanding work in the area,
with technical presentations given by top researchers from both academia
and the industry including:

Dr. Robert Morris, Director of the IBM Almaden Research Center
"Storage: From Atoms to People,"

David Patterson, University of California at Berkeley
"Availability and Maintainability >> Performance: New Focus for a
New Century."

Dr. Mark Kryder, Seagate Technology

Dr.Hans Coufal, IBM Research

Dr. Jim Gray, Microsoft Research

FAST 2002 will consist of two days of technical presentations, including
refereed papers, invited talks, and an introductory keynote address.
Work-in-progress presentations and informal Birds-of-a-Feather sessions
will round out the conference experience allowing attendees to meet
respected colleagues and provide valuable feedback.

FAST is the conference to attend to get the best of the best in file
systems and storage technology and a strong vision of the future.

We look forward to seeing you in beautiful Monterey, California!
