Call for Papers Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems

[George Neville-Neil]

Howdy,

I know that there are several people on this list who do interesting work in the networking
area.  One of the things that can really help the FreeBSD project is for people to submit
papers and get them published on good work they're doing on FreeBSD.  While it's great that
we all put stuff out there at the various BSD conferences, it's equally, or possibly more,
important to get the work we're doing on FreeBSD seen by the broader CS community.

If you have been doing interesting work in networking and think you might be able to submit
something you should definitely get cracking and submit to the following conference.

Also, if you know of anyone who would be interested in this conference please forward
this CFP to them as well.

Best,
George

> 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 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
> *  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
> *  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/>
> 
> Notification of Acceptance: August 18, 2012
> 
> The Program Committee may choose to accept certain papers conditionally,
> based on a shepherding process.
> 
> SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
> 
> ANCS 2010 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 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/>.
