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.
