CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION

3rd IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid
(CCGrid 2003)
12-15 May 2003, Toshi Center Hotel, Tokyo, JAPAN
http://www.ccgrid.org/ccgrid2003 || http://ccgrid2003.apgrid.org

SCOPE

Two new paradigms are changing the way we do computing: Clusters and
Grids. Both have been born by the need for more economical means for
high-performancecomputing. Clusters employ cost-effective commodity
components for building powerful computers, and Grids allow to better
utilize the computing resources that are available via Internet.

CCGrid2003, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Cluster
Computing, is designed to bring together international cluster and grid
computing researchers, developers, and users to present and exchange the
latest innovations and findings that drive future research and
products. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Middleware for Clusters and Grids
- Interconnects and Protocols
- File Systems, I/O and Databases
- Resource Management
- Scheduling and Load Balancing
- Management of Large-Scale Distributed Data
- Programming Languages and Models
- Tools and Environments
- Programming Support for SMP Clusters
- System Management and Administration
- Performance Evaluation and Modeling
- Problem Solving Environments
- Applications for Clusters and Grids
- Computing / Science Portals
- Grid Economy
- Peer-to-Peer Computing

The previous two meetings in the series held in Brisbane, Australia
(CCGrid 2001) and Berlin, Germany (CCGrid 2002) have attracted
participants from over 30 countries around the world.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to 8 pages of
