I have enclosed its CFP for your kind consideration. If possible, please distribute this CFP to your colleagues interested in Cluster Computing. Looking forward receiving your research paper for this session. Best regards, Sincerely Yours, Rajkumar Buyya http://www.dgs.monash.edu.au/~rajkumar/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL SESSION Cluster Computing Technologies, Environments, and Applications (CC-TEA) URL: http://www.bigfoot.com/~buyya/cctea.html http://www.dgs.monash.edu.au/~rajkumar/cctea.html in 1999 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'99) http://www.jhpc.org/pdpta June 28 - July 1, 1999 Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Call for Papers In recent years, the availability of high-speed networks and high-performance microprocessors is making networks of computers an appealing vehicle for cost-effective parallel computing. Clusters/networks of computers (workstations/PCs/SMPs) built using commodity hardware and software are playing a major role in redefining the concept of supercomputing. As a whole, clusters are becoming an alternative to MPPs and supercomputers in many areas of application. The focus of this special session will be on both hardware and software aspects of computing on clusters. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Cluster Hardware (Cluster of PCs, Workstations, or SMPs) High Perormance Communication Networks and Interfaces Light Weight Communication Protocols Cluster Middleware Single System Image Infrastructure System Availabilty Infrastructure Issues in Building Scalable Services File Systems and Parallel I/O Job and Resource Management Data Distribution and Load Balancing Programming Paradigms/Environment for Clusters Message Passing Systems such as MPI and PVM for Clusters Problem Solving Environments for Clusters Tools for Operating and Managing Clusters Java for High Performance Computing Algorithms for Solving Problems on Clusters Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications on Clusters Submission should include authors names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, email addresses, on the cover page. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Please submit full paper not exceeding 5 (or 7) single spaced pages in file of the paper (preferably viewable by ghostview); also send a separate email with authors' names, addresses, title and abstract of the paper. Hard copies should be sent only if electronic submission is not possible. All papers selected for this session will be published in the PDPTA'99 conference proceedings. Please send full paper for consideration to this technical session to: Session Organizer and Chair: Rajkumar Buyya School of Computing Science and Software Engineering Monash University Room No. 130, Bld No. 63, Clayton Campus Melbourne, Vic. 3168, Australia Office phone: +61-3-9905 1502 Office fax: +61-3-9905 3574 Email: rajkumar@dgs.monash.edu.au / buyya@bigfoot.com WWW: http:www.dgs.monash.edu.au/~rajkumar / http://www.bigfoot.com/~buyya Important Dates: Draft Papers due on: March 15, 1999 Notification of Acceptance: April 5, 1999 Camera Ready Papers and Preregistration due on: May 1, 1999 PDPTA'99 Conference: June 28 - July 1, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
