Scheduling Queries for Tape-Resident Data

Tertiary storage systems are used when secondary storage can not satisfy the data storage requirements and/or it is a more cost effective option. The new application domains require on-demand retrieval of data from these devices. This paper investigates issues in optimizing I/O time for a query whose data resides on automated tertiary storage containing multiple storage devices.
