10th IEEE International Conference on Networking, Architecture and Storage (NAS)
Boston, Massachusetts, USA,
August 6-7, 2015
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society’s Technical Committees on Computer
Architecture (TCCA), Parallel Processing (TCPP) and Distributed Processing
(TCDP).

IMPORTANT DATES:

– Notification: May 20, 2015
– Camera-Ready Copy: June 29, 2015

The International Conference on Networking, Architecture, and Storage (NAS)
provides a high-quality 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. NAS 2015 will expose participants to the most recent
developments in the interdisciplinary areas.

Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible
presentation at the conference. Papers should be submitted for double-blind
review. The program committee will nominate best papers for recognition in
the three conference topic areas. All papers will be evaluated based on their
novelty, fundamental insight, experimental evaluation, and potential for
long-term impact; new-idea papers are encouraged. All accepted papers will
be published in IEEE digital library.

Papers are solicited in fields that include, but are not limited to, the
following:
– Processor, cache, memory system architectures
– Parallel and multi-core architectures
– GPU architecture and programming
– Data-center scale architectures
– Architecture for handheld or mobile devices
– Accelerator-based architectures
– Application-specific, reconfigurable or embedded architectures
– HW/SW co-design and tradeoffs
– Power and energy efficient architectures and techniques
– Effects of circuits and emerging technology on architecture
– Cloud and grid computing
– Architecture, networking or storage modeling and simulation methodologies
– Non-volatile memory technologies
– Software defined networking
– Storage performance and scalability
– File systems, object-based storage
– Energy-aware storage
– SSD architecture and applications
– Parallel I/O
– Cloud storage
