ACM Transactions on Storage

ACM Transactions on Storage (TOS) is the premier journal for publishing advancements in storage research and practice. The field of storage is one of the cornerstones for data availability. Storage is a broad and multidisciplinary area that comprises of network protocols, resource management, data backup, replication, recovery, devices, security, theory of data coding, densities, and energy-efficiency. Designing and developing storage systems continues to be a challenge due to both software and hardware heterogeneity in enterprise environments and data centers. ACM TOS seeks to fill an important void as a peer-reviewed comprehensive journal focused on storage.The scope of ACM TOS includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:Storage Systems Architecture, Design, and Validation: parallel, distributed, peer-to-peer, and GRID storage systems, Storage Area Networks (SAN), Network-Attached Storage (NAS), performance evaluation and monitoring, predictive and adaptive techniques, support for multimedia computing applications, mass storage systems, formal and empirical validation methods.Storage Networking: Protocols for networked storage systems, storage switch and fabric design.Storage Resource Management: virtualization, management, discovery, provisioning of storage resources, security, reliability, scalability, policy-based management, object-based storage devices, and interoperability support for heterogeneity in systems, devices, and software.Replication, Backup, and Recovery: continuous backup methods, real-time and policy-based recovery, volume, file, and application-level recovery, disaster tolerance.Operating System and Application Support: Caching, file systems, interoperability, and design of application programming interfaces.Information Lifecycle Management (ILM): management of data based on configurable policies and regulatory compliance, processes, and workflow for data storage, security, and storage middleware including data management systemsStorage Media and Devices: optical, magnetic, acoustic, MEMS-based storage devices, MRAM, Bio/Nano-storage devices, device abstractions, and I/O protocols.Theory: Algorithms for coding, and signal-processing techniques for high data rates, densities, and low power.Contributions may extend original work published in conferences and workshops, or may be based on entirely new unpublished work. Tutorial and survey articles that provide and detailed treatment of emerging and established topics are welcome.

ACM存储事务（TOS）是出版存储研究和实践进展的主要期刊。存储领域是数据可用性的基石之一。存储是一个广泛的多学科领域，包括网络协议、资源管理、数据备份、复制、恢复、设备、安全性、数据编码理论、密度和能效。由于企业环境和数据中心的软硬件异构性，设计和开发存储系统仍然是一个挑战。ACMTOS作为一本专注于存储的同行评审的综合性期刊，试图填补这一空白。ACM TOS的范围包括但不限于以下方面：存储系统体系结构、设计和验证：并行、分布式、对等和网格存储系统、存储区域网络（SAN）、网络附加存储（NAS）、性能评估和监控、预测和自适应技术、多媒体计算应用支持、大容量存储系统、正式和经验验证方法。存储网络：用于网络存储系统、存储交换机和结构设计的协议。存储资源管理：虚拟化、管理、发现、存储资源调配、安全性、可靠性、可扩展性、基于策略的管理、基于对象的存储设备，以及对系统、设备和软件异构性的互操作性支持。复制、备份和恢复：连续备份方法、实时和基于策略的恢复、卷、文件和应用程序级恢复、灾难容限。操作系统和应用程序支持：缓存、文件系统、互操作性和应用程序编程接口的设计。信息生命周期管理（ILM）：基于可配置的策略和法规遵从性、数据存储、安全和存储中间件（包括数据管理系统）的流程和工作流来管理数据存储介质和设备：光学、磁性、声学、基于MEMS的存储设备、MRAM、生物/纳米存储设备、设备抽象和I/O协议。理论：高数据率、密度和低功耗的编码算法和信号处理技术。贡献可以扩展在会议和讲习班上发表的原著，也可以基于全新的未发表的作品。欢迎提供和详细处理新兴和既定主题的教程和调查文章。
