[Hotstorage-chairs] HotStorage ’26 – External Reviewer Request

[Pranshu Jain]

Dear Prof. Choi and Prof. Kim,

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to briefly follow up on my note below
regarding possible external reviewer opportunities for HotStorage ’26.

Since I wrote, I have also been invited to serve on the Program Committee
for ACM SYSTOR 2026 <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.systor.org%2f2026%2fprogram-committee%2f&c=E,1,e8L9fUUwwBzdEXmMbYFJoEv2-xeevaeLtKNkR9sguCkIEIY9zC7T7YVuZ3czKQWLPVJJSrwKZF7Q8XyGcajnniZbF23_gMWhUbpHf0TpZJZVbA,,&typo=1>, 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.

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.
