Proceedings of the 6th International Systems and Storage Conference

It is our great pleasure to present the proceedings of SYSTOR 2013, the Sixth Annual International Systems and Storage Conference taking place at Haifa, Israel. SYSTOR continues to grow and evolve. This year, for the first time, SYSTOR focuses only on research tracks, without the industrial track that was available in previous years. The SYSTOR 2013 call for papers attracted a total of 49 submissions, and accepted 20 papers in a competitive and rigorous review process. This is a record number of accepted papers in SYSTOR. The resulting overall acceptance rate is 40%. A best paper and best short paper were selected by the program chairs with awards presentation at the conference.
