CALL FOR PAPERS

The 8th ACM/IEEE Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems

ANCS 2012 http://www.ancsconf.org

October 29-30, 2012 AT&T Conference Center University of Texas Austin, Texas, USA

Sponsored by: ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (SIGARCH) ACM Special Interest Group on Communications (SIGCOMM) IEEE Computer Society Tech. Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA)

The Eighth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems (ANCS) will be held October 29-30 at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin, TX, USA. This year, ANCS will be col-located with ICNP 2012 to reduce travel expenses for those who plan to attend both conferences.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper registration and abstract: May 18, 2012 Submission deadline: May 25, 2012 Author notification: August 18, 2012

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW:

ANCS is a systems-oriented research conference, presenting original work that explores the relationship between the architecture of modern computer networks and the architecture of the individual hardware and software elements from which these networks are built. This year's conference will emphasize in its paper selection research on computer and network systems that provide the foundations of emerging network technologies and the future Internet.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * System design for future network architectures * Network architectures enabled by converged platforms * Virtualized infrastructure architectures, rationale, and devices * Converged router, server, and storage platforms * Content-centric architectures, platforms, and mechanisms * Scalable programming and application frameworks * High-performance / high-function packet processing platforms * Power- and size-optimized computer and communications platforms * High-speed networking mechanisms and algorithms * Network security architectures * Single-chip platform integration * Network measurement techniques, architectures, and devices * Techniques and systems for large-scale data analysis * Host-network interface issues * Architectures for data centers * Router and switch architectures * Software radios * Wireless-networking hardware and related software

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:

Papers must be registered, with a title and abstract, no later than May 18, 2011 at 11:59PM EST (US). The deadline for submissions of full papers is May 25, 2011 at 11:59PM EST (US). There will be no extensions of this deadline.

Please see the conference web site for detailed submission guidelines: http://www.ancsconf.org

The Program Committee may choose to accept certain papers conditionally, based on a shepherding process.

BEST PAPER AWARD AND FAST-TRACK TO TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING

ANCS 2012 will feature a best paper award, which will be announced at the conference. Some of the accepted papers will be fast-tracked as submissions to the ACM/IEEE Transactions on Networking.

POSTER SESSION:

ANCS 2012 will include a poster session. Submission deadlines and guidelines will be announced at a later date on the conference web site http://www.ancsconf.org/;.
