Sponsored by the

Mass Storage Systems Technical Committee (MSSTC)
IEEE Computer Society





The IEEE Archival Storage Life Cycle Management Workshop was held in conjunction with the 24th IEEE Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technology. This conference was held in San Diego on September 24-27, 2007, with the one-day workshop taking place on September 24.

The idea of this workshop was to bring together experienced professionals representing data resource services providers and consumers in government, academia and industry to discuss and document ideas and suggestions to improve data migration and operations effectiveness for large institutional data repositories built upon the file system metaphor.
