Description:
---------------------
The last decade or so has seen rapid research and
developments in
computer technology, particularly the advent and
proliferation of
Internet and wireless networks, that has given way to
a clear
convergence of previously divert fields such as
computer networking,
architecture and storage. As a result, architectural
designs are
increasingly made more network-aware, if not
network-centric; more
classic architecture ideas are being adopted to
network devices and
protocols and vice versa; data grids and high-speed
networks are making
data ever more omnipresent and indeed the "life-blood"
of computing and
the main asset of any organization.

This conference intends to bring together researchers
and practitioners
from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge
research on
networking (wireline and wireless), high-performance
computer
architecture, and parallel and distributed data
storage technologies. By
discussing ongoing research, the conference will
expose participants to
the most recent developments in these
interdisciplinary areas. Topics of
interest include but are not limited to:

   * Ad hoc mobile networks
   * Mobility models and systems
   * Network applications and services
   * Network architectures and management
   * Optical networks
   * Peer-to-peer communications and networks
   * Resource allocation and management
   * Routing protocols
   * Security, trust, and privacy
   * Self-organizing networks
   * Sensor nets and embedded systems
   * Virtual and overlay networks
   * Web services and performance
   * Wireless networks and protocols
   * Processor architectures
   * Cache and memory systems
   * Parallel computer architectures
   * Impact of technology on architecture
   * Power-efficient architectures and techniques
   * High-availability architectures
   * High-performance I/O systems
   * Embedded and reconfigurable architectures
   * Interconnect and network interface architectures
   * Innovative hardware/software trade-offs
   * Impact of compilers on architecture
   * Performance evaluation of real machines
   * Storage Manageability, Reliability, Availability,
and Security
   * Storage Performance and Scalability
   * File systems, Object-based storage, block-level
storage
   * Storage networking: e.g. Fibre Channel,
InfiniBand, IP Storage,
iSCSI
   * Parallel I/O architectures
   * Evaluation of storage architectures
   * Storage management software
