Call For Papers:

IEEE NAS 2019 (August 15 - 17, 2019, Enshi, China)

http://www.nas-conference.org/NAS-2019/index.html

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 2019 will expose
participants to the most recent developments in the interdisciplinary
areas. Each submission can have up to 8 pages, including all text, figures,
tables, footnotes, appendices, references, etc. 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submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the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. Selected and extended papers
will be recommended to the special issue of Concurrency and Computation:
Practice and Experience (SCI indexed) and CCF Transactions on High
Performance Computing.
