The ACM International Systems and Storage Conference (SYSTOR) is an international forum for interaction across the systems research community. The program includes innovative, peer-reviewed research papers in the broad area of systems, as well as distinguished keynote lecturers, a poster session, and social events. ACM SYSTOR is designed to engage academic and industrial researchers and practitioners, welcoming both students and seasoned professionals. 

SYSTOR has traditionally welcomed academic and industrial papers in systems including storage, cloud and distributed systems, networking, and systems security, broadly construed. While continuing on this tradition, this year, we are broadening the scope to also include research on systems issues in AI and/or sustainability, including those that involve workload optimization, data processing, lifecycle of systems, carbon footprint transparency, and system re-designs. SYSTOR encourages submissions that describe results from experimental system prototypes, as well as experience papers describing practical deployments, and valuable lessons learned from them.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Systems and workload optimization for AI/ML systems
    Sustainability/carbon footprint of computer and network systems
    System security and trust
    Big Data infrastructure
    Cloud, edge, data center, and distributed systems
    Embedded and real-time systems
    Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
    File and storage systems
    Networked, mobile, wireless, peer-to-peer, and sensor systems
    Operating systems, computer architecture, and their interactions
    Performance evaluation and workload characterization
    Runtime systems and compiler/programming-language support
    System deployment, usage, and experience
    System design or adaptation for emerging storage technologies
    Virtualization and containers
    Storage 3.0
