It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 1st Programmable File Systems Workshop -- PFSW'14 at the 23rd International ACM Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC-23). This workshop focuses on frameworks that allow the programmability of file and storage systems while addressing the risks of data interface change. The workshop aims to serve as a venue for leaders in the file system and storage community to exchange ideas outside the tradition of half a century of classic file and storage systems research, which focused on a small set of unchanging interfaces.
The call for papers attracted 7 submissions from Germany and the United States. The program committee accepted 3 papers that cover programmability topics ranging from automated resource provisioning, active object storage programming, and policy-based data management. In addition, the program includes a keynote speech by Alvin Cheung (MIT CSAIL) on "Rethinking the Application-Database Interface" and a fishbowl panel on "Programmable File Systems: What, Why, How?" We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for researchers interested in programmable file and storage systems.

Rethinking the application-database interface
From social networking websites to bank transactions, we interact with data-intensive applications every day. Such applications are typically hosted on an application server that interacts with a database server to manipulate persistent data. To make ...
Creating a programmable object storage stack
The current file system and storage stack is restricted in the amount of information that flows from application to storage and from storage to application. This limits the ability of applications to tailor the storage system to particular needs of the ...
Building an extensible file system via policy-based data management
In the practice of data management, different user communities often use different forms of data and metadata, support different operations, and implement different policies. For example, forms of data include blocks, tuples, streams, time series, and ...
QoS-aware storage virtualization for cloud file systems
We present a reservation scheduler for object-based file systems. It supports storage virtualization for multi-tenant cloud environments with quality of service (QoS) guarantees. The reservation scheduler has been integrated into the XtreemFS cloud file ...
