ANCS is a research
conference that focuses on the architecture and design of hardware and
software for modern communication networks. The combination of increasing
network bandwidth and expanding functionality pose continuing and growing
challenges for system designers. New technology elements, including network
processors, content addressable memories, chip multi-core processors,
configurable logic and special-purpose components offer new opportunities for
meeting these challenges, but also raise a variety of new issues. ANCS
focuses on networking and communication in the broad sense, including novel
architectures, architectural support for advanced communications systems,
algorithms and protocols for advanced architectures, software and
applications for next-generation networking architectures, and methodology
and benchmarking for evaluating advanced communication architectures. Our
emphasis this year will be on hardware and software elements in the context
of systems that enable networks to evolve and scale.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- System
design for future Network Architectures
- Network/communications
processors
- Intelligent co-processors
- Router architectures
- Emerging
Technologies (e.g., optical components, etc.)
- Switch
fabrics/interconnection networks
- Link scheduling,
processor/thread scheduling, switch scheduling
- Network adapters
- Application-specific
networks (e.g., SAN, XML Switching)
- Programmable /extensible
networks
- Secure communication
- Traffic management
- Packet classification
- Content inspection and
filtering
- Energy-efficient designs
- Multi-core processors and
networking
- Open platforms
- Networks
on-chip
The PAPER DEADLINE
for submissions is June 30, 2008 at 11:59PM PST (US). ANCS will use
double-blind reviewing, so submitted papers should not include the authors'
names. Paper registration and submission must be done electronically through
EDAS (edas.info). Registration, including the abstract, must be
completed no later than June 23, 2008 at 11:59PM PDT (US). All papers
must be submitted in PDF format on letter-size paper. Submissions must be
viewable by Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 5.0 or higher) and should not
exceed 10 pages in ACM/SIG conference paper format using 10 pt font.
Submissions exceeding the maximum limit will not be reviewed by the program committee.
Camera-ready versions of the accepted papers will be required to use the ACM
SIG format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).
We encourage submissions containing original ideas. Like other conferences,
ANCS requires that papers not be submitted simultaneously to any other
conferences or publications; that submissions not be previously published;
and that accepted papers not be subsequently published elsewhere.
Notification of Acceptance: August 26, 2008.

with any questions at ancsTPC@arl.wustl.edu.
