Information:

Non-Volatile memory (NVM) technologies have demonstrated great potential in
improving many aspects of present and future memory hierarchies, offering high
integration density, large capacity, zero standby power and good resilience to
soft errors. The recent research progress of various NVMs, e.g., NAND flash,
PCM, STT-RAM, RRAM, Racetrack, FeRAM, etc., have drawn tremendous attentions
from both academia and industry. Besides developing robust and scalable devices,
the unique characteristics of these NVM technologies introduce plenty of
opportunities and challenges for novel circuit designs, architectures, system
organizations, and management strategies. There is an urgent need for technology
invention, modeling, analysis, design and application of these NVMs ranging from
circuit design level to system level. Non-Volatile Memory Systems and
Applications Symposium (NVMSA) seeks both research and industry papers that
describe research or technical aspects related to NVMs. More information on
NVMSA 2017 can be found at http://nvmsa2017.iis.sinica.edu.tw/

Call for Papers:

NVMSA is a premier conference in the area of non-volatile memory systems and
emerging memory technologies. It provides a fantastic opportunity for global
nonvolatile memory researchers from different communities to discuss and
exchange knowledge, ideas and insights, and to facilitate the establishment of
potential collaborations that can speed up the progress in the design and
application of NVMs. An expanded technical program will be offered in NVMSA
2017 for the audience from academia and industry. The organizing committee is
soliciting various topics on related to NVMs including, but not limited to:

Device/Circuit Design of NVM Systems:
- Emerging NVM Circuit Design
- NVM Device Design
- Error Correction for NVMs
- Non-volatile Logic Circuit
- Low Power NVM Circuit
NVM Architecture and Systems:
- Non-volatile Registers
- Non-volatile Memory Architectures
- Non-volatile Cache Design
- NVM Neuromorphic Architectures
- NVDIMM
NVM Storage:
- Operating System Support for NVM
- Compiler Optimization for NVM
- NVM-based Storage Software
- NVM-based Databases
- NVM Controller Design
NVM Applications:
- In-memory Computing
- NVM for Big Data Analytics
- NVM in Mobile Healthcare Applications
- NVM in Wearable Applications
- NVM in the Internet of Things


Submission:

Both research and industry track papers are solicited. All papers must be
submitted electronically in PDF format. The submitted manuscript must describe
original work not previously published and not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
Submissions should be no more than 6 pages in the IEEE conference proceedings
format (two-column, single-space, 9pt). Conference content will be submitted for
inclusion into IEEE Xplore, and will be EI indexed.


Special issues for selected papers:

Selected papers will be recommended to submit the extended versions to the
special issues of ACM Transactions on Storage (TOS) and ACM Journal of Emerging
Technologies in Computing Systems (JETC).
