Nominations Requested for the
The IEEE Reynold B. Johnson Information Storage Award was
established in 1991 and may be presented annually for outstanding contributions
to information storage, with emphasis on computer storage.
The Award is sponsored by IBM Corporation.
IEEE Magnetics Society members are encouraged to stimulate nominations or
nominate outstanding candidates for the award.
A nomination form is accessible via the IEEE Awards web page and can be
completed on-line.
Potential nominee forms are also available on the IEEE Awards web page. The
potential nominee form is a vehicle to obtain feedback on whether a candidate
meets the award criteria. Potential nominee forms are forwarded to the
Information Storage Award selection committee.
