CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

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, 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

The PAPER DEADLINE for submissions is July 16, 2007 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 July 9, 2007 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
(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.
