Abstract

<P>ANCS is a research conference that focuses on the architecture and design of hardware and software for modern communication networks&#046; The combination of increasing network bandwidth and expanding functionality pose continuing and growing challenges for system designers&#046; New technology elements, including network processors, content addressable memories, multi&#8211;core processors, configurable logic and special&#8211;purpose components offer new opportunities for meeting these challenges, but also raise a variety of new issues&#046; 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&#8211;generation networking architectures, and methodology and benchmarking for evaluating advanced communication architectures&#046; Our emphasis this year will be on hardware and software elements in the context of systems that enable networks to evolve and scale&#046;</P> <P><B>Keywords:</B> </P><FONT size=2><FONT size=2> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>System design for future Network Architectures</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Network/communications processors</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Intelligent co&#8211;processors</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Router architectures</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Emerging Technologies (e&#046;g&#046;, optical components, etc&#046;)</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Switch fabrics/interconnection networks</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Link scheduling, processor/thread scheduling, switch scheduling</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Network adapters</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Application&#8211;specific networks (e&#046;g&#046;, SAN, XML Switching)</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Programmable /extensible networks</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Secure communication</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Traffic management</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Packet classification</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Content inspection and filtering</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Energy&#8211;efficient designs</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Multi&#8211;core processors in networking</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Open platforms</FONT> <LI><FONT face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Networks on&#8211;chip</FONT></LI></FONT></FONT>
