Call for Papers

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
  • Router and switch architectures 
  • Software radios 
  • Wireless-networking hardware and related software 
SUBMISSION PROCEDURES: 

The deadline for submissions of full papers is May 19, 2013 at 11:59 PM PDT (US). There will be no extensions given.

NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE: August 9, 2013

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

ANCS 2013 will use single-blind reviewing, so submitted papers should  include the authors' names.
 
Submit papers using a 10pt font on 12pt leading formatted for printing on  Letter-sized (8.5" by 11") paper. Paper text blocks must follow ACM  guidelines: double-column, with each column 9.25" by 3.33", 0.33" space between columns. Each column must contain no more than 55 lines of text. Latex and Word templates, and additional submission requirements, are available via http://www.ancsconf.org.  ANCS submissions  must be no longer than 12 pages.  The PC may choose to reject any paper  that violates these format requirements, and no deadline extensions will  be allowed for re-formatting.
 
We encourage submissions containing original ideas that are relevant  to the scope of ANCS.  Like other conferences, ANCS requires that papers  not be submitted simultaneously to any other conferences or publications;  that submissions not be previously published in peer-reviewed conferences;  and that accepted papers not be subsequently published elsewhere.  Papers  describing work that was previously published in a peer-reviewed workshop  are allowed, if the authors clearly describe what significant new content  has been included.
 
All submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication  in the proceedings; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as  confidential.
 
POSTER SESSION: 

ANCS 2013 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/.
