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).
Zhang Jia Jie, located in the northwest of Hunan province, covers a total
area of 9,563 square kilometers with 76% mountainous area. This famous
tourist city has the China's first national forest park, and the World
Natural Heritage site Wulingyuan Scenic Area. Zhang Jia Jie has been
accredited the title of the World Geological Park and honored as Number
One Miraculous Mountain in the world and Original Manuscript of Chinese
Landscape Painting.
