Many research and development challenges remain in all areas of cluster computing, including middleware, networking, algorithms and applications, resource management, platform deployment and maintenance, and integration of clusters into computational grids. Cluster 2005 provides an open forum for researchers, practitioners and users to present and discuss issues, directions, and results that will shape the future of cluster computing. This years event is to be held in and around Boston / Cambridge, see the upcoming Call for Participation for more details. SCOPE ----- Cluster 2005 welcomes paper and poster submissions from engineers and scientists in academia and industry describing original research work in all areas of cluster computing. In addition, Cluster 2005 will welcome proposals for tutorials and workshops to be held concurrently with the conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Cluster Middleware: - Single-System Image Services - Software Environments and Tools - Standard Software for Clusters - I/O Libraries, File Systems, and Distributed RAID Cluster Networking: - High-Speed System Interconnects - Lightweight Communication Protocols - Fast Message Passing Libraries Cluster Management and Maintenance: - Cluster Security and Reliability - Tools for Managing Clusters - Cluster Job and Resource Management - High-Availability Cluster Solutions Applications: - Scientific and E-Commerce Apps - Data Distribution and Load Balancing - Scheduling and Parallel Algorithms - Innovative Cluster Applications - Tools and Environments - Computational Sciences Performance Analysis and Evaluation: - Benchmarking and Profiling Tools - Performance Prediction and Modeling - Analysis and Visualization Grid Computing and Clusters: - Grid / Clusters Integration - Network-Based Distributed Computing - Mobile Agents and Java for Clusters/Grids TECHNICAL PAPERS ---------------- Format for submission: Full paper drafts, not to exceed 25 double-spaced, numbered pages (including title, author affiliations, abstract, keywords, figures, tables and bibliographic references) using 12 point font on 8.5x11-inch pages with 1-inch margins all around. A web based submission mechanisms will be activated on the conference web site two weeks before the submission deadline. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file. Hard copy submissions can not be accepted. POSTERS ------- Format for submission: 1 page abstract in PDF including names of authors, their affiliation and a 200 word abstract sent as an e-mail attachment to the poster chair, Kurt Keville . Poster presentations will also be offered to the authors of technical papers that were not accepted for oral presentation but are recommended by the committee for this form of publication. Cluster 2005 is considering proposals for colocated workshops. See the deadline for proposals below.
