 NAS 2020 Call for Papers
 The 15th IEEE International Conference on Networking, Architecture and 
 Storage (NAS 2020, sponsored by the IEEE)


 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 2020 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 Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for 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 
 for journal publications.
