About NVMSA

The 15th Non-Volatile Memory Systems and Applications Symposium (NVMSA) is a premier conference for new ideas and research results in the area of non-volatile memory systems and emerging memory technologies. This year, NVMSA will be held in Qingdao, China on August 11-13, 2026. This conference is in conjunction with the International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications (IEEE RTCSA 2026). Accepted papers will be submitted for possible inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements, and will be indexed by EI. Selected outstanding papers will be invited to submit a fast-tracked extended version to either IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Artificial Intelligence (IEEE TCSAI) or ACM Transactions on Storage (ACM ToS).
