------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

Commodity clusters today provide a convenient and cost-effective
platform for 
executing complex computation-, data- and/or transaction-centric
applications.
Many research and development challenges remain in all areas of cluster
computing, 
including middleware, networking, algorithms and applications, resource
management,
platform deployment and maintenance, and integration of clusters into
computational 
grids. Cluster 2005 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. This years event is to be held in and around
Boston / Cambridge,
see the upcoming Call for Participation for more details.

SCOPE
-----

   Cluster 2005 welcomes paper and poster submissions from engineers and
   scientists in academia and industry describing original research work
in
   all areas of cluster computing. In addition, Cluster 2005 will
welcome
   proposals for tutorials and workshops to be held concurrently with
the
   conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   Cluster Middleware:
    - Single-System Image Services         - Software Environments and
Tools
    - Standard Software for Clusters       - I/O Libraries, File
Systems,
                                             and Distributed RAID

   Cluster Networking:
    - High-Speed System Interconnects      - Lightweight Communication
Protocols
    - Fast Message Passing Libraries

TECHNICAL PAPERS
----------------

Format for submission: Full paper drafts, not to exceed 25
double-spaced, numbered pages
(including title, author affiliations, abstract, keywords, figures,
tables and
bibliographic references) using 12 point font on 8.5x11-inch pages with
1-inch margins
all around. A web based submission mechanisms will be activated on the
conference web site
two weeks before the submission deadline. Authors should submit a
PostScript (level 2) or
PDF file. Hard copy submissions can not be accepted.

POSTERS
-------

Format for submission: 1 page abstract in PDF including names of
authors, their affiliation and a 200 word abstract sent as an e-mail
attachment to the poster chair, Kurt Keville <poster at cluster2005.org>.
Poster presentations will also be offered to the authors of technical
papers that were not accepted for oral presentation but are recommended
by the committee for this form of publication.

Cluster 2005 is considering proposals for colocated workshops. See the
deadline for proposals below.
