CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
ANCS is a research conference that focuses on the architecture and
design of hardware and software for modern communication networks. The
combination of increasing network bandwidth and expanding
functionality 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 networking and
communication in the broad sense, including novel architectures,
architectural support for advanced communications systems, algorithms
and protocols for advanced architectures, software and applications
for next-generation networking architectures, and methodology and
benchmarking for evaluating advanced communication architectures. Our
emphasis this year will be on hardware and software elements in the
context of systems that enable networks to evolve and scale.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* System design for future Network Architectures
* Network/communications processors
* Intelligent co-processors
* Router architectures
* Emerging Technologies (e.g., optical components, etc.)
* Switch fabrics/interconnection networks
* Link scheduling, processor/thread scheduling, switch scheduling
* Network adapters
* Application-specific networks (e.g., SAN, XML Switching)
* Programmable /extensible networks
* Secure communication
* Traffic management
* Packet classification
* Content inspection and filtering
* Energy-efficient designs
The PAPER DEADLINE for submissions is July 16, 2007 at 11:59PM PST
(US). ANCS will use double-blind reviewing, so submitted papers should
not include the authors' names. Paper registration and submission must
be done electronically through EDAS (edas.info). Registration,
including the abstract, must be completed no later than July 9, 2007
at 11:59PM PDT (US). All papers must be submitted in PDF format on
letter-size paper. Submissions must be viewable by Adobe Acrobat
Reader (version 5.0 or higher) and should not exceed 10 pages in
ACM/SIG conference paper format using 10 pt font. Submissions
exceeding the maximum limit will not be reviewed by the program
committee. Camera-ready versions of the accepted papers will be
required to use the ACM SIG format
(www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).
We encourage submissions containing original ideas. Like other
conferences, ANCS requires that papers not be submitted simultaneously
to any other conferences or publications; that submissions not be
previously published; and that accepted papers not be subsequently
published elsewhere.

* Grant Applications Deadline for SC07 Conference Broader Engagement Initiative
Don?t miss this opportunity to attend the SC07 Conference this November in Reno, Nevada!
Applications are currently being accepted for the Broader Engagement Initiative, which seeks
to broaden the engagement of individuals from groups that have traditionally been under-
represented in high performance computing. In addition to the complementary conference
registration, grant recipients will be reimbursed for their SC expenses for lodging and
transportation, up to an agreed upon amount. Applications are encouraged from those in all
computing-related disciplines, including those with backgrounds in research, education, and
industry. Primary consideration will be given to applicants from groups that have
traditionally been under-represented in high performance computing, such as African-
Americans, Hispanics, Indigenous People, and women. Successful applicants will be notified
of their acceptance by August 1. For more information, visit the BE Web site
(http://sc07.supercomp.org/?pg=broadeng.html) or send email to be@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
About SC07: SC07, sponsored by ACM and IEEE Computer Society, will showcase how high-
performance computing, networking, storage and analysis lead to advances in research,
education and commerce. The conference includes technical and education programs,
workshops, tutorials, an exhibit area, demonstrations and hands-on learning. For more
information, please visit http://sc07.supercomp.org/.

* PPoPP 2008 Call for Papers: 13th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and
Practice of Parallel Programming
(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email)
13th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming
PPoPP 2008 (http://www.ppopp.org)
Call for Papers
http://research.ihost.com/ppopp08/cfp.html
Call for Workshops and Tutorials
http://research.ihost.com/ppopp08/cfwt.html
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming
PPoPP 2008
February 20-23, 2008, Salt Lake City, Utah
http://www.ppopp.org
(Co-located with HPCA-14)
Call for Papers
PPoPP is a forum for leading work on all aspects of parallel programming,
including foundational results, techniques, tools, and practical
experience. In the context of the symposium, "parallel programming" is
construed to encompass work on concurrent, multithreaded, multicore,
multiprocessor, and tightly-clustered systems, but typically not wide-area
distribution. Given the rise of multicore processors, PPoPP is particularly
interested in work that seeks to transition parallel programming into the
computing mainstream.
Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Parallel programming theory and models
* Formal analysis and verification
* Middleware for parallel systems
* Parallel programming languages
* Compilers and runtime systems
* Automatic parallelization
* Parallel libraries or application frameworks
* Performance analysis, debugging, and optimization
* Development, analysis, or management tools
* Parallel algorithms
* Parallel applications
* Concurrent data structures
* Synchronization and concurrency control
* Software engineering for parallel programs
* Fault tolerance for parallel systems
* Software issues for multicore or multithreaded processors
Papers should report on original research relevant to parallel programming,
and should contain enough background material to make them accessible to the
entire parallel programming research community. Papers describing experiences
should indicate how they illustrate general principles; papers about parallel
programming foundations should indicate how they relate to practice. Poster
submissions should meet similar criteria for originality and relevance, but
may present emerging ideas or results that are not yet sufficiently developed
for a full paper.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract Submission: August 13, 2007 (5pm Eastern Daylight Time)
Full Paper Submission: August 20, 2007 (5pm Eastern Daylight Time)
Poster Submission: August 20, 2007 (5pm Eastern Daylight Time;
no separate abstract required)
Rebuttal Period: October 3-5, 2007
Notification of Acceptance: October 19, 2007
Workshop Submission: November 30, 2007
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS:
All submissions must be made electronically through the conference web
site. Abstracts must include contact information, the full list of authors
and their affiliations, and a description (100-400 words) of the anticipated
content of the paper.
Full paper submissions must be in PDF format, viewable by Adobe Acrobat
Reader version 5.0 or higher, and formatted for US letter-size paper. They
must not exceed 10 pages (all inclusive) in standard ACM two-column
conference format (preprint mode, with page numbers). Over-length submissions
will be summarily discarded by the Program Chair.
Submissions will be judged on relevance, originality, significance, clarity,
and correctness.
Poster submissions must conform to the same format restrictions, but may not
exceed 2 pages in length. Paper submissions that are not accepted for regular
presentations will automatically be considered for posters; authors who do
not want their paper considered for the poster session should indicate this
in their abstract submission. Two-page summaries of posters will be included
in the conference proceedings.
The proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted papers
and posters will be required to sign the ACM copyright form. Instructions for
preparing papers for the proceedings will be emailed to authors of accepted
papers.
