IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper registration and abstract:        May 9, 2011

Submission deadline:                    May 16, 2011

Author notification:                    July 29, 2011

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 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

*  Network on chip

*  Software radios

*  Wireless-networking hardware and related software

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:

Papers must be registered, with a title and abstract, no later than May 9, 2011 at 11:59PM EST (US). The deadline for submissions of full papers is May 16, 2011 at 11:59PM EST (US). There will be no extensions of this deadline.

Please see the conference web site for detailed submission guidelines

Notification of Acceptance: July 29, 2011

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

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

ANCS 2011 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 . 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 or journals; 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 on the ANCS 2011 Web site; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential.

BEST PAPER AWARD AND FAST-TRACK TO TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING

ANCS 2011 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 2011 will include a poster session. Submission deadlines and guidelines will be announced at a later date on the conference web site .
