Storage Systems

Technical Committees

Technical Committee on Mass Storage Systems
The TC on Mass Storage Systems (TCMS) is involved with the organization, storage and retrieval, and hardware requirements of large data collections. Unconventional data collections and processing systems are considered in addition to the conventional types, including special-purpose CPUs, mass storage devices, operating systems, and languages. The TC offers tutorials and workshops each year on these and other current topics.

Standards Committees

Storage Systems Standards Committee
This SSSC sponsors all Storage System standards activities within the IEEE through the Computer Society. These activities may include full-use and trial-use standards; guides; recommended practices; and study groups.
