<div>I apologize for the delayed response — <span>your previous email was unfortunately filtered into my spam folder.</span><br>
<br>
We have already finalized the Program Committee for HotStorage ’26. However, we truly appreciate your interest in contributing<span>. </span>We plan to pass along the names of potential reviewers to future PC co-chairs, and we will make sure that your name
is on their radar.<br>
<br>
We greatly appreciate your continued contributions to the research community. We also hope that you and your team will consider submitting your work to HotStorage this year.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>

<p>Dear Prof. Choi and Prof. Kim,</p>
<p>I hope you are doing well. I wanted to briefly follow up on my note below regarding possible external reviewer opportunities for HotStorage ’26.</p>
<p>Since I wrote, I have also been invited to serve on the Program Committee for <a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.systor.org%2f2026%2fprogram-committee%2f&c=E,1,Jo3WGtj1HWzHe-A28DKTPqz4U6XPsL-AkdL975EqTz0zRaIy5TgBpfnwb6iKf0n8KqF4mhFi40rYcDw96a9o8_bax4aAljvkhaeTqM6wN3zA1byT3mEwT6zdkS8,&typo=1">
ACM SYSTOR 2026</a>, which closely aligns with HotStorage’s storage and systems focus. Given this additional context, I wanted to reiterate my interest in helping if HotStorage ’26 needs any external or ad hoc reviewers for submissions involving cloud storage,
distributed or disaggregated storage systems, storage virtualization, QoS/performance, storage systems for ML, or resource-management and scheduling issues in modern cloud infrastructure.</p>
<p>I completely understand if the reviewer pool is already finalized, but I would be grateful to be considered if a suitable need arises. Thank you again for your consideration. Best regards.</p>

<p>Dear Professors Choi and Kim,</p>
<p>I hope you are doing well. I am writing to request whether HotStorage ’26 may still be using external reviewers for submissions, particularly in areas related to distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, storage virtualization, QoS, and systems for ML.</p>
<p>I am a Senior Principal Architect at VMware by Broadcom, where I lead the architecture and roadmap for resource-management and scheduling systems in VMware Cloud Foundation and vSphere, supporting infrastructure used for more than 70 million virtualized
workloads globally. My work aligns well with HotStorage topics at the intersection of distributed systems and modern infrastructure, including virtualization-aware orchestration, application QoS, multi-resource management, and scheduling across Kubernetes
and hypervisor layers for cloud and AI workloads.</p>
<p>On the research side, I am a senior author of an <a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.usenix.org%2fconference%2fosdi20%2fpresentation%2fsuresh&c=E,1,_ais_oQVVNfu5nJwySuPP8Qog0TwOjxXRejLmVY3EGbl7ryZwAVjeaL48DmmI6OLHYU6FvTBY_Oqb2gwVXhRhPkB020O7NFOISKnvStz&typo=1" target="_blank">
OSDI ’20 paper on declarative cluster management</a>, and I have authored several
<a href="https://patents.google.com/?q=(-Temperature)&inventor=Pranshu+JAIN&country=US&status=APPLICATION&type=PATENT" target="_blank">
patents in workload scheduling and orchestration</a>. I have also served as a Technical Program Committee member and reviewer for Broadcom’s global R&D conference for eight years through a highly selective process, and I was invited to present original research
at VMworld to over 100 global customers.</p>
<p>I have attached my CV and included my Google Scholar profile below for reference. Please let me know if there is still an opportunity to contribute.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
