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
