Aims & Scope

The ACM Transactions on Storage (TOS) is a new journal with an intent to publish original archival papers in the area of storage and closely related disciplines. Articles that appear in TOS will tend either to present new techniques and concepts or to report novel experiences and experiments with practical systems. Storage is a broad and multidisciplinary area that comprises of network protocols, resource management, data backup, replication, recovery, devices, security, and theory of data coding, densities, and low-power. Potential synergies among these fields are expected to open up new research directions.
