Call for Papers

The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Architecture, and Storage (NAS 2009) is to be held on July 9-11, 2009 in Zhang Jia Jie, China. It will serve as an international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge research on networking (wired and wireless), high-performance computer architecture, and parallel and distributed data storage technologies. NAS 2009 will expose participants to the most recent developments in these interdisciplinary areas. NAS has been successfully hold in Chongqing in 2008 (NAS'08), Guilin in 2007(NAS'07), and Shenyang in 2006(NAS'06).
