		~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
		~ Workshop on File Systems Program ~
		~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Sponsored by the USENIX Association and the University of 
	Michigan's Center for Information Technology Integration

GOAL:  The goals of the workshop are to bring together researchers and
practitioners on all aspects of file systems, including but not limited
to:
*file system performance measurement and models; WORM and other optical
systems
*log-structured, RAID, and other high-performance systems
*mass-storage and archival systems
*support for replication, consistency, and mobility, in distributed
systems
*naming and location in very large distributed file systems.

There will be opportunities to identify and discuss trends, themes and
theoretical and practical aspects of file systems research and
development.
