The combination of increasing network bandwidth and expanding functionality pose continuing and growing challenges for system designers. New technology elements, including network processors, content addressable memories, multi–core processors, configurable logic and special–purpose components offer new opportunities for meeting these challenges, but also raise a variety of new issues. 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–generation networking architectures, and methodology and benchmarking for evaluating advanced communication architectures. Our emphasis this year will be on hardware and software elements in the context of systems that enable networks to evolve and scale.<br><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″><br></font>Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:<br></font> </p><ul><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>System design for future Network Architectures</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Network/communications processors</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Intelligent co–processors</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Router architectures</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Emerging Technologies (e.g., optical components, etc.)</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Switch fabrics/interconnection networks</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Link scheduling, processor/thread scheduling, switch scheduling</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Network adapters</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Application–specific networks (e.g., SAN, XML Switching)</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Programmable /extensible networks</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Secure communication</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Traffic management</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Packet classification</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Content inspection and filtering</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Energy–efficient designs</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Multi–core processors in networking</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Open platforms</font></li><li><font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″>Networks on–chip<br></font></li></ul> <font face=″Times New Roman, Times, serif″><big><big><span style=″font–weight: bold; font–family: Helvetica,Arial,sans–serif;″>Technical Sponsors</span></big></big></font><br>ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (SIGARCH)<br>ACM Special Interest Group on Communications (SIGCOMM)<br>IEEE Computer Society Tech.
