<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committees on Computer Architecture (TCCA), </div>
<div>Parallel Processing (TCPP) and Distributed Processing (TCDP).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Important Dates:</div>
<div> - Paper Submission: April 3, 2015</div>

</div>
<div>The International Conference on Networking, Architecture, and Storage (NAS) provides a high-quality </div>
<div>international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to </div>
<div>discuss cutting-edge research on networking, high-performance computer architecture, and parallel </div>
<div>and distributed data storage technologies. NAS 2015 will expose participants to the most recent </div>
<div>developments in the interdisciplinary areas.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the conference. </div>
<div>Papers should be submitted for double-blind review. The program committee will nominate best papers </div>
<div>for recognition in the three conference topic areas. All papers will be evaluated based on their </div>
<div>novelty, fundamental insight, experimental evaluation, and potential for long-term impact; new-idea </div>
<div>papers are encouraged. All accepted papers will be published in IEEE digital library.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Papers are solicited in fields that include, but are not limited to, the following:</div>
