MTS is an operating system for IBM System/360 and its successors that was developed jointly by the following institutions:
- University of Michigan
- Wayne State University
- Simon Fraser University
- University of Alberta
- University of British Columbia
- Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
- Durham University
- University of Newcastle upon Tyne
Popular programs developed for MTS include MAD, the FORMAT text formatting system and the CONFER conferencing system from Robert Parnes.
MTS doesn't implement directories, but there is a de facto two-tier grouping of files owing to the inclusion in a file's name of its owner's four-character MTS callsign.
