 ===================================================================

 The International Conference on Networking, Architecture, and Storage
 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 2018 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 Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible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. 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.
