More than Storage
The incredible growth and success that our field has experienced over the past half a century has has the side effect of transforming systems into a constellation of siloed fields; storage is one of them. I'm going to make the case that we should return to a road interpretation of systems, undertaking bolder, higher risk projects, and be intentional about how we interact with other fields. I'll support the case with examples or several research projects that embody this approach.

Storage talk
Mark Kryder, award-winning researcher, distinguished lecturer, and Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, will present Wednesday’s keynote on A Perspective on the Past and Future of Magnetic Hard Drives. Mark is responsible for having started work on perpendicular recording, full disk encryption, and Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) while Senior Vice President, Research and CTO at Seagate. Kryder’s Law, which observed that the pace of magnetic disk areal storage density increased much faster than the two-year doubling time of semiconductor chip density posited by Moore’s Law, is named after him.
