NSSDC/WDC-A-R&S 91-18 Proceedings of the NSSDC Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies for Space and Earth Science Applications Prepared by Mass Storage Conference Program Committee July 23 - 25, 1991 Preface This report presents the proceedings of the NSSDC Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies for Space and Earth Science Applications held July 23 through 25, 1991 at the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. Sponsored by the National Space Science Data Center, the program includes a keynote address, invited technical papers, and selected technical presentations to provide a broad forum for the discussion of a number of important issues in the field of mass storage systems. Topics include magnetic disk and tape technologies, optical disk and tape, software storage and file management systems, and experiences with the use of a large, distributed storage system. The technical presentations describe, among other things, integrated mass storage systems that are expected to be available commercially. Also part of the program is a series of presentations from Federal Government organizations and research institutions covering their mass storage requirements for the 1990s. The three-day conference provides attendees with a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences at a practical and useful level. All invited papers received prior to the conference appear in this publication in the order in which they were presented, with the exception of those not received in time for printing. In those instances, papers not received in time will be published subsequently in a second document following the conference. This later document will include a transcription of the discussions and question and answer periods of the conference. This document was prepared by Klm Blackwell with editorial and production assistance from Len Blasso and Ann Lipscomb, all three of ST Systems Corporation, Lanham, Maryland.
