The Information Storage & Processing Systems Division of ASME serves the mechanical engineer engaged in the data storage and information processing systems industries, such as printers, scanners and digital cameras.

The primary focus has been in the rapidly growing data storage industry dominated by rigid and floppy disks, magnetic tape, VCR and optical disk technologies. Numerous mechanics and material problems are found with the domains of these "miniature" products, where nano- & micro- are the common dimension prefixes!
