>>> CONFERENCE OVERVIEW <<<
ANCS is the premier forum for presenting and discussing original research that
explores the relationship between the algorithms and architectures of data
communication networks and the hardware and software elements from which these
networks are built. This includes both experimental and theoretical analysis.
To recognize and foster the increasing importance of research into the co-design
of computer and network systems, the conference also places an emphasis on
systems issues arising from the interaction of computer and network
architectures.
