The 5th IEEE International Conference on Networking, Architecture, and  
Storage (NAS 2010) will be held from July 15 - 17, 2010 at the  
University of Macau, Macau SAR, China. It will serve as an  
international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners  
from academia and industry to discuss cutting-edge research on  
networking, high-performance computer architecture, and parallel and  
distributed data storage technologies.

Macau is one of the two special administrative regions of China, the  
other being Hong Kong. Macau lies on the western side of the Pearl  
River Delta, facing the South China Sea to the south and east. The  
region has thriving industries such as textiles, electronics, toys,  
and a notable tourist industry with a wide variety of hotels, resorts,  
sports facilities, restaurants, and casinos. It is growing in size,  
with an increasing number of buildings on land reclaimed from the sea,  
and in the number and diversity of its attractions. The greatest of  
these is Macau's unique society, which consists of complementary  
Eastern and Western communities. NAS has been successfully held in  
Zhang Jia Jie in 2009 (NAS'09), Chongqing in 2008 (NAS'08), Guilin in  
2007 (NAS'07), and Shenyang in 2006 (NAS'06).

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   - Network architectures and protocols
   - Virtual and overlay networks
   - Network applications and services
   - Ad hoc and sensor networks
   - Mobile handset networks
   - RFID systems and networks
   - Network security and privacy
   - Processor architectures
   - Cache and memory systems
   - Parallel computer architectures
   - Power efficient architectures
   - High-availability architectures
   - Reconfigurable Architectures
   - Innovative HW/SW tradeoffs
   - Storage management
   - Parallel I/O architectures
   - Storage performance and scalability
   - File systems, object-based storage, and block storage
   - Energy-aware storage
   - Storage networking
   - Architecture and applications of solid state disks

NAS 2010 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. The  
submitted manuscript is not to exceed 10 two-column numbered pages in  
IEEE Xplore format. (8.5x11-inch paper, margins in inches-- top: 0.75,  
bottom: 1.0, sides:0.625, and between columns:0.25, main text: 10pt).

All papers submitted to this conference will be peer-reviewed and  
accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the  
conference topics. The conference proceedings will be published by  
IEEE CS Press and also be included in the IEEE digital library. All  
accepted papers will be indexed through EI, CompendexISI Thomson's  
Scientific and Technical Proceedings, and ISTP/ISI Proceedings.
