Participants and Papers Sought for CCGrid 2004

released September 23, 2003

The Fourth International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid 2004) will be April 19-22, 2004, in Chicago.

CCGrid2004, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, is designed to bring together international leaders who are pioneering researchers, developers, and users of extreme clusters, networks, and Grid architectures and applications. The symposium will also serve as a forum to present the latest work, and highlight related activities from around the world.

Authors are invited to submit papers of not more than eight pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point 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. Paper submission instructions will be posted at http://www.mcs.anl.gov/ccgrid2004/. Submissions must be received by Nov. 10.

Topics of interest include:

• Hardware and software (based on PCs, workstations, SMPs or supercomputers)
• Middleware for clusters and grids
• Dynamic optical network architectures for grid computing
• Parallel file systems, including wide area file systems, and parallel I/O
• Scheduling and load balancing
• Programming models, tools, and environments
• Performance evaluation and modeling
• Resource management and scheduling
• Computational, data, and information grid architectures and systems
• Grid economies, service architectures, and resource exchange architectures
• Grid-based problem-solving environments
• Scientific, engineering, and commercial grid applications
• Portal computing/science portals
