Call for Papers
2008 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing
(Cluster 2008)
29 September - 1 October 2008
Tsukuba, Japan
http://www.cluster2008.org/
**********************************************************************
The recent advances in high speed networks and improved microprocessor
performance are making clusters or networks of workstations an
appealing vehicle for cost effective parallel computing. Clusters
built using commodity hardware and software components are playing a
major role in redefining the concept of supercomputing, and has now
become the mainstream technology for High Performance Computing and
Information Technology.
Cluster 2008 is hosted in the high-tech city of Tsukuba. Here you
will experience an open forum with fellow cluster researchers, system
designers and installers, and users for presenting and discussing new
directions, opportunities and ideas that will shape Cluster Computing.
Cluster 2008 welcomes paper and poster submissions on innovative work
from researchers in academia, industry and government describing
original research work in cluster computing.
The 9th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid 2008
http://www.grid2008.org/) will be held on the same days and location
as the Cluster 2008. CFP of Grid 2008 will be available shortly.
Topics of interest are (but not limited to):
- Cluster Software and Middleware
- System Tools for "Green" Computing
- Software Environments and Tools
- Single-System Image Services
- Parallel File Systems and I/O Libraries
- Standard Software for Clusters
- Cluster Networking
- High-Speed Interconnects
- High Performance Message Passing Libraries
- Lightweight Communication Protocols
- Applications
- Application Methods and Algorithms
- Adaptation to Multi-Core
- Data Distribution, Load Balancing & Scaling
- MPI/OpenMP Hybrid Computing
- Visualization
- Performance Analysis and Evaluation
- Benchmarking & Profiling Tools
- Performance Prediction & Modeling
- Cluster Management
- Virtualization Technology
- Security and Reliability
- High Availability Solutions
- Resource and Job Management
- Administration and Maintenance Tools
Paper Submission:
Paper Format: Since the camera-ready version of accepted papers must
be compliant with the IEEE Xplore format for publication, submitted
papers must conform to the following Xplore layout, page limit, and
font size. This will insure a size consistency and a uniform layout
for the reviewers. (With minimal changes, accepted document can be
styled for publication according to Xplore requirements explained in
the Xplore formatting guide, which is also in Xplore format).
- PDF files only.
- Maximum 10 pages for Technical Papers, maximum 6 pages for Posters.
- Single-spaced
- 8.5x11-inch, Two-column numbered pages in IEEE Xplore format
- Format instructions are available at
http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html
and
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/
- Concerning the final camera-ready version: Maximum of 2 extra
pages at $100/page. Camera-ready means PDF file must comply with
IEEE Xplore formatting and style for publication.
- Electronic Submission: Only web-based submission is accepted.
The URL will be announced on the Cluster 2008 web page.
Call for Workshop Proposals:
Cluster 2008 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops. We
