  abstract = {We discuss the strategic directions and challenges in the
  management and use of storage systems--those components of computer systems
  responsible for the storage and retrieval of data. The performance gap
  between main and secondary memories shows no imminent sign of vanishing, and
  thus continuing research into storage I/O will be essential to reap the full
  benefit from the advances occurring in many other areas of computer science.
  In this report we identify a few strategic research goals and possible
  thrusts to meet those goals.},
