Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems

TIPPINST - The ANCS has found a new home page and now contains information on the upcoming programme of events. The conference will take place in Princeton University from Oct 26 - 28th 2005. This conference has evolved from the HPCA Network Processor Conferences

The following is taken from their web site

NCS is new research conference that focuses on the design of the hardware and software components used to create modern communication networks. The combination of increasing network line speeds and expanding functional requirements pose continuing and growing challenges for system designers. New technology elements, including network processors, content addressable memories, configurable logic and special-purpose components offer new opportunities for meeting these challenges, but also raise a variety of new issues. ANCS focuses on architectures for networking and communication in the broad sense, including novel architectures, architectural support for advanced communication, algorithms and protocols for advanced architectures, software and applications for next-generation networking architectures, and methodology and benchmarking for evaluating advanced communication architectures.
