Call for Papers
Third IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing
http://andy.usc.edu/cluster2001/
Sutton Place Hotel, Newport Beach, California, USA
Oct. 8-11, 2001
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, through the
Task Force on Cluster Computing (TFCC)
Organized by the University of Southern California, University of
California at Irvine, and California Institute of Technology
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call For Participation
The rapid emergence of COTS Cluster Computing as a major strategy for
delivering high performance to technical and commercial applications is
driven by the superior cost effectiveness and flexibility achievable
through ensembles of PCs, workstations, and servers. Cluster computing,
such as Beowulf class, SMP clusters, ASCI machines, and metacomputing
grids, is redefining the manner in which parallel and distributed computing
is being accomplished today and is the focus of important research in
hardware, software, and application development.
The Third IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing will be held
in the beautiful Pacific coastal city, Newport Beach in Southern
California, from October 8 to 11, 2001. For the first time, the Cluster
2001 merges four popular professional conferences or workshops: IWCC,
PC-NOW, CCC, JPC and German CC into an integrated, large-scale,
international forum to be held in Northern America. The conference series
was previously held in Australia (1999) and Germany (2000). For details and
updated information, visit the Cluster 2001 official web site:
http://andy.usc.edu/cluster2001/. The conference series information can be
found at: http://www.clustercomp.org/.
We encourage submission of high quality papers reporting original work in
theoretical, experimental, and industrial research and development in the
following topics, which are not exclusive to cluster architecture,
software, protocols, and applications :
* Hardware Technology for Clustering
* High-speed System Interconnects
* Light Weight Communication Protocols
* Fast Message Passing Libraries
* Single System Image Services
* File Systems and Distributed RAID
* Internet Security and Reliability
* Cluster Job and Resource Management
* Data Distribution and Load Balancing
* Tools for Operating and Managing Clusters
* Cluster Middleware, Groupware, and Infoware
* Highly Available Cluster Solutions
* Problem Solving Environments for Cluster
* Scientific and E-Commerce Applications
* Collaborative Work and Multimedia Clusters
* Performance Evaluation and Modeling
* Clusters of Clusters/Computational Grids
* Software Tools for Metacomputing
* Novel Cluster Systems Architectures
* Network-based Distributed Computing
* Mobile Agents and Java for Cluster Computing
* Massively Parallel Processing
* Software Environments for Clusters
* Clusters for Bioinformatics
* Innovative Cluster Applications
Paper Submission
The review process will be based on papers not exceeding 6000 words on at
most 20 pages. Deadline for Web-based electronic submission is March 12,
2001 in Postscript (*.ps) or Adobe Acrobat v3.0 (*.pdf) format. The
submitted file must be viewable with Aladdin GhostScript 5.10 and printable
on a standard PostScript Laser printer. No constraint on the format of the
submitted draft except the length. However, double-space format is
encouraged, in order to provide the referees the convenience of marking
comments and corrections on the paper copy. The web site for the paper
submission is: http://www.cacr.caltech.edu/cluster2001/papers
Proceedings
The proceedings of CLUSTER 2001 will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
The proceedings will also be made available online through the IEEE digital
library following the conference.
