CALL FOR PAPERS
The growing popularity of the Internet along with the availability of
powerful computers and high-speed networks as low-cost commodity components
are changing the way we do computing. Two advanced computing themes have
emerged: "cluster computing" and "global network computing" (grid
computing).
CCGrid2001 is a new millennium symposium emerged as a follow up (or a merger) of
2000 symposium (APSCC 2000) held in Beijing, China and CC-TEA workshop series
held in the USA for the past four years (1997-2000).
CCGrid2001, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society through the Task Force on
Cluster Computing, is designed to bring together international cluster and
network-based computing researchers, developers, and users. The symposium
will also serve as a forum to present the latest work, and highlight related
activities from around the world.
The following topics concerning Cluster or Grid computing are of interest,
but not limited to:
* Hardware and Software (based on PCs, Workstations, SMPs or Supercomputers)
* Middleware for Clusters and Grids
* File Systems and Parallel I/O
* Scheduling and Load Balancing
* Programming Models, Tools, and Environments
* Communication systems such as: Message Passing Systems e.g. MPI and PVM or
Shared Memory Systems
* Programming Languages and System Software for supporting Grids and
Clusters
* System Management and Administration
* Performance Evaluation and Modelling
* Resource Management and Scheduling
* Computational, Data, and Information Grid
* Computational Economy
* Problem Solving Environments
* Data Structure and Algorithms
* Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications for Clusters and
Grids
* Portal Computing / Science Portals
PAPER SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION
Authors are invited to submit papers of not more than 8 (eight) pages of double
column text using single spaced 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages,
as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines, see:
http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. Authors should submit a
PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer.
Papers may be submited through the web from:

ABOUT CONFERENCE CITY:
Brisbane is Australia's third largest city (1.6 million) and the
state capital of Queensland. Brisbane is about 500 miles (800 Km)
northeast of Sydney along the coast. At latitude 27 S, Brisbane lies
roughly the same distance from the Equator as Miami, Florida in the USA.
Being in the subtropics, Brisbane's has near-perfect climate all year
round.
May is a great time to visit Brisbane (Remember Australia has
winter from June to September). May is before the arrival of crowds
from Sydney and other Australian cities further south escaping
their chilly winter.
Australia's not all that far from the USA. Air time from Los
Angeles (LA) is about 14 hours. Which is about the same air time as
from LA to Rome, Italy.
Before and after the conference, there are plenty of opportunities
for day trips to visit Australia's unique wildlife, bushland, outback
and beaches. The web page for CCGrid2001 <http://www.ccgrid.org/> has
a link to tourist information. Also, Lonely Planet has a nice web
site on Brisbane at
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/dest/aust/graphics/map-aus.htm
