Call for Papers
Third IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing
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
(1-page Call for paper in PDF)
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 19, 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.
Panels/Tutorials/Exhibitions
Proposals are solicited for special topics and panel sessions. These proposals
must be submitted to the Program Chair: Thomas Sterling. Proposals for a
half-day or a full-day tutorial related to the conference topics are encouraged
and submit the same to tutorial chair: Ira Pramanick. For exhibitions, contact
exbition chair: Rawn Shah.
