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power.Contributions may extend original work published in conferences and workshops, or may be based on entirely new unpublished work.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存儲事務（TOS）是出版存儲研究和實踐進展的主要期刊。存儲領域是數據可用性的基石之一。存儲是一個廣泛的多學科領域，包括網絡協議、資源管理、數據備份、復制、恢復、設備、安全性、數據編碼理論、密度和能效。由于企業環境和數據中心的軟硬件異構性，設計和開發存儲系統仍然是一個挑戰。ACMTOS作為一本專注于存儲的同行評審的綜合性期刊，試圖填補這一空白。ACM TOS的范圍包括但不限于以下方面：存儲系統體系結構、設計和驗證：并行、分布式、對等和網格存儲系統、存儲區域網絡（SAN）、網絡附加存儲（NAS）、性能評估和監控、預測和自適應技術、多媒體計算應用支持、大容量存儲系統、正式和經驗驗證方法。存儲網絡：用于網絡存儲系統、存儲交換機和結構設計的協議。存儲資源管理：虛擬化、管理、發現、存儲資源調配、安全性、可靠性、可擴展性、基于策略的管理、基于對象的存儲設備，以及對系統、設備和軟件異構性的互操作性支持。復制、備份和恢復：連續備份方法、實時和基于策略的恢復、卷、文件和應用程序級恢復、災難容限。操作系統和應用程序支持：緩存、文件系統、互操作性和應用程序編程接口的設計。信息生命周期管理（ILM）：基于可配置的策略和法規遵從性、數據存儲、安全和存儲中間件（包括數據管理系統）的流程和工作流來管理數據存儲介質和設備：光學、磁性、聲學、基于MEMS的存儲設備、MRAM、生物/納米存儲設備、設備抽象和I/O協議。理論：高數據率、密度和低功耗的編碼算法和信號處理技術。貢獻可以擴展在會議和講習班上發表的原著，也可以基于全新的未發表的作品。歡迎提供和詳細處理新興和既定主題的教程和調查文章。
