CONFERENCE OVERVIEW:

ANCS is a systems-oriented research conference, presenting original
work that explores the relationship between the architecture of modern
computer networks and the architecture of the individual hardware and
software elements from which these networks are built. This year's
conference emphasizes in its paper selection research on computer
and network systems that provide the foundations of emerging network
technologies and the future Internet.
