ANCS 2013 - The 9th ACM/IEEE Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems

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 particularly emphasize insight into broader systems issues in its paper selection, to recognize and foster the growth of research that lies at the intersection of computer and network systems architecture.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
System design for future network architectures
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 and security anchor/ enhancement devices
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 and cloud computing
Router and switch architectures
Software-defined networking
Wireless-networking hardware and related software
