----------------------------------------------------------------------

ANCS is a new research conference that focuses on the design of the
hardware and software components used to create modern communication
networks. The combination of increasing network line speeds and
expanding functional requirements pose continuing and growing
challenges for system designers. New technology elements, including
network processors, content addressable memories, configurable logic
and special-purpose components offer new opportunities for meeting
these challenges, but also raise a variety of new issues. ANCS focuses
on architectures for networking and communication in the broad sense,
including novel architectures, architectural support for advanced
communication, algorithms and protocols for advanced architectures,
software and applications for next-generation networking
architectures, and methodology and benchmarking for evaluating
advanced communication architectures.

The program for ANCS 2005 includes two keynote talks, eight sessions
of technical papers, and two pre-conference tutorials. See the full
program at http://www.ancsconf.org.

** Travel Grants

Due to the generous support of the Computer and Information Science and

Engineering (CISE) directorate of the National Science Foundation, we
are
pleased to offer a limited number of awards supporting travel by
students,
post-docs, and junior faculty to ANCS. Attendees from traditionally
under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
