| Summary: | This volume contains the proceedings of the 13th ACM International Systems and Storage Conference (SYSTOR 2020). Like many other conferences this year, SYSTOR 2020 was impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic. The submission deadline was scheduled for the beginning of March 2020, just as the virus started spreading worldwide, travel restrictions were put in place and international conferences started being postponed or canceled. It is likely that the resulting uncertainty led to a significant drop in submission numbers for SYSTOR this year, with a total of 30 submitted papers (down 33% over the previous year). Among these submissions, 9 quality papers were accepted for the conference (all full-length submissions). Each submitted paper received four detailed reviews by program committee members, followed by an extensive online discussion.
