The last decade or so has seen rapid research and developments in computer technology, particularly the advent and proliferation of Internet and wireless networks, that has given way to a clear convergence of previously divert fields such as computer networking, architecture and storage. As a result, architectural designs are increasingly made more network-aware, if not network-centric; more classic architecture ideas are being adopted to network devices and protocols and vice versa; data grids and high-speed networks are making data ever more omnipresent and indeed the "life-blood" of computing and the main asset of any organization.

This conference intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge research on networking (wireline and wireless), high-performance computer architecture, and parallel and distributed data storage technologies. By discussing ongoing research, the conference will expose participants to the most recent developments in these interdisciplinary areas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Ad hoc mobile networks
* Mobility models and systems
* Network applications and services
* Network architectures and management
* Optical networks
* Peer-to-peer communications and networks
