2007 International Conference on Networking, Architecture, and Storage

http://www.eece.maine.edu/nas/

In co-operation with IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on
Distributed Processing

July 29-31, 2007
Guilin, China

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

Storage networking: e.g. Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, IP Storage, iSCSI
Parallel I/O architectures
Evaluation of storage architectures
Storage management software
