San Diego, provides an open forum for researchers, practitioners, and users to
present and discuss issues, directions, and results that will shape the future of
cluster computing. The Cluster series of conferences is one of the flagship
events sponsored by the IEEE Task Force on Cluster Computing (TFCC) since its
inception in 1999. The competition among refereed papers was particularly
strong this year, with 48 papers being selected as full papers from the 150
submitted papers. Besides the technical paper presentation, there will be three
exciting keynote speakers, four tutorials, one workshop and exhibits to be
arranged during the conference period.</span></font></p>
