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;<br><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;><br></font>Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:<br></font> </p><ul><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>System design for future Network Architectures</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Network/communications processors</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Intelligent co&#8211;processors</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Router architectures</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Emerging Technologies (e&#046;g&#046;, optical components, etc&#046;)</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Switch fabrics/interconnection networks</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Link scheduling, processor/thread scheduling, switch scheduling</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Network adapters</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Application&#8211;specific networks (e&#046;g&#046;, SAN, XML Switching)</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Programmable /extensible networks</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Secure communication</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Traffic management</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Packet classification</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Content inspection and filtering</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Energy&#8211;efficient designs</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Multi&#8211;core processors in networking</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Open platforms</font></li><li><font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;>Networks on&#8211;chip<br></font></li></ul> <font face=&#8243;Times New Roman, Times, serif&#8243;><big><big><span style=&#8243;font&#8211;weight: bold;
