**********************************************************************

Scope:

The Workshop on Scalable Networks for Advanced Computing Systems is a
venue for discussions in the networks community that encompasses the
full networks stack, ranging from high-level tools and interfaces,
down to low-level hardware. The goal of this workshop is to bring
together researchers to present research on the next-generation of
large scale interconnects for scientific applications. In particular,
our aim is to provide a venue for discussion of the full network stack
from user level interfaces (i.e. MPI, PGAS) to the hardware level
(i.e. network offload, hardware support for active messages, routing
protocols). Workshop topics include: networks for exascale systems,
networks for multi-facility workflows, new communication models and
architectures for large scale systems, and network interface and
hardware co-design.Topics:

=======

Topics of interest (but are not limited to):
* Networks for exascale systems

* New communication models and architectures for large scale systems
* Network interface and hardware co-design

=======

Paper submission and publication:

Research paper submissions are limited to 10 (including figures,
tables and references) using a 10-point on 8.5x11-inch pages (US
Letter) in the IEEE conference style.
