ABSTRACT
This award is to assist approximately 15 US-based graduate students to attend the 15th USENIX and ACM SIGOPS Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST 2017) in Santa Clara, CA. Participation in FAST 2017 and similar conferences is a valuable and important part of the graduate school experience. It provides students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers, and exposes students to leading work and practical industry practices in this important area of research.
Past grant recipients have gone on to run their own research labs and organize conferences including FAST, and the long term merits of this program's impact on storage research is well established.

Major Goals
The 15th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST ’17) brought together file and storage system researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation and deployment of storage systems. This proposal funded the attendance by qualified students who otherwise may have not been able to attend. The FAST '17 technical program included 27 technical papers, as well as Work-in-Progress reports (WiPs), and two poster sessions. The published papers represent some of the outstanding work in the area, with topics including file systems, caching, data protection, deduplication, flash and SSDs, and more. The conference was held in Santa Clara, CA, USA from February 27–March 02, 2017.
Intellectual Merits and Broader Impacts:
Participation in FAST ‘17 and similar conferences is a valuable and important part of the graduate school experience. It provides students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers, and exposes students to leading edge work. The support requested in this proposal made possible the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend. USENIX FAST ‘17 provided focus on practical techniques for building better software systems: ideas or approaches that provide practical solutions to significant issues facing practitioners. The published papers represent some of the outstanding work in the area, with topics including file systems, caching, data protection, deduplication, flash and SSDs This cross-disciplinary emphasis makes it well-suited as a target for student participation, and exposes them to key research in the field.
