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 systems Storage 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 Contributions may extend original work published in conferences and workshops, or may be based on entirely new unpublished work.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 TOS is available on-line in the ACM digital libraries and in print through membership in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Instructions to Authors Before Submission 1. You must submit your paper through the ACM Manuscript Central. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one by clicking “Create Account” in the upper righthand corner. Further help with Manuscript Central can be found on the Manuscript Central Help page. 2. Submissions should be full papers with appropriate citations. Your submission should adhere to the ACM policies on prior publication, including correct citations of your own and other prior work. Please read ACM’s policies on these issues: ACM policy on prior publication and simultaneous submission ACM policy on plagiarism, including self plagairism 3. Your submission should have ACM Categories and Subject Descriptors and as many of the 16 fixed ACM General Terms as apply. Please go to the ACM Computing Classification System for additional information. You may also supply any additional keywords and phrases you would like to be included. 4. Your submission must be formatted in either Microsoft Word or LaTeX, according to the ACM style guides LaTeX style guide Please note that this takes you to the general LaTeX style guide page. The correct format for TOS is the Small Standard Format, a direct download can be found here Microsoft Word style guide Please note that this is the general Microsoft Word style guide page. The correct format for TOS is the Small Standard Format, a direct download can be found here 5. Your submission MUST include a cover letter documenting where any prior version of the submitted material may have appeared and how the submission differs from the prior versions. Your submission will be returned to you if it does not include a cover letter. After Acceptance All author rights forms are now filled electronically through the ACM e-Rights Transfer Application. If your paper was submitted before April 2, 2013, has recently been accepted, and you have not yet been contacted concerning e-rights transfer, please send your manuscript number to Laura Lander, Journals Manager, at lander@hq.acm.org. ACM Author-Izer Once your manuscript is published by ACM, you can access the unique ACM Author-Izer, which expands content visibility of your research. This new service lets you generate and post a link to any of your ACM published articles on your homepage or institutional repository. Through this link, any visitors to your personal bibliography pages can download the definitive version of your articles for free from the ACM Digital Library. For more information and directions on how to make use of this, please visit http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service. Submitting Your Manuscript Once you have created an account on Manuscript Central and logged in, go to the Author Dashboard. To submit a new manuscript, click on the link on the righthand side, and follow the directions. Type, Title, & Abstract We are in the process of working with both ACM and Manuscript Central to change the Manuscript Type options. For now, unless your manuscript is a survey paper, please select “Long Paper” as your manuscript type. Enter the full title of your paper, and the short title as the Running Head. Please limit your abstract to 200 words. Attributes Please use the ACM Categories and Subject Descriptors that you chose for your paper as your Keywords Authors & Institutions Your information will be added automatically. Please enter any co-authors that are on the manuscript and their information. Reviewers If you are aware of someone who has expertise in the same area as your submission, who is not affiliated with the paper, please indicate such persons here. Details & Comments As noted above, your submission must include a cover letter. This should explain whether the material in your manuscript has appeared anywhere else. If it has been published elsewhere, please indicate where it appeared, and how this submission differs from the previously published version. You must also read the ACM Plagiarism Policy File Upload Manuscript Central is designed to take the files necessary to build your submission and create the PDF for you. While it is possible to simply submit the PDF copy as your main document, if you submit the pieces it will save you trouble in the long run. 1. You will see the option to upload three files, as well as a file type designation. a. The first file should be your main file, and the designation should be “Main Document”. b. The second file should be a .zip file of the supplementary documents. In LaTeX this would be all the other files needed to create your document, including your bibliography and any style files. The designation should either be “Supplementary File” if you are using Microsoft Word, or “TeX/LaTeX Suppl File” if you are using LaTeX. c. The third file should be a .zip file of any figures that appear in your document, and the designation should be the same as your supplementary files. PLEASE NOTE that if you reference the figures in your document as being in a separate folder (e.g., figs/myfigure.eps), Manuscript Central will mark the figure as missing. This is because Manuscript Central requires a flat namespace. 2. CHECK THE BOX that says “Unpack zip files”. If you do not check this box, Manuscript Central will tell you that you are trying to upload a restricted file type. 3. TAKE NOTE of the .zip file size limits. You may only have 20 individual files in one .zip file. Additionally, when you are uploading the files, the type of connection you have is going to make a difference. If you are having trouble, try splitting your .zip files into multiple smaller .zip files. 4. Be patient. Uploading the files takes some time. This does not necessarily mean that it isn’t working. 5. When the file upload is finished, you have the option of going through each file and making sure that it is correct and has the correct file designation. 6. All of your files should appear under the “My Files” section. If you are missing files, Manuscript Central will note this under the file that is effected.
