Dear CCGrid2003 PC members,

I am Kento Aida, the co-chair of Posters and Research Demos
in the CCGrid2003.

I would like you to please help distributing the Call For
Posters as widely and as soon as possible, to the mailing

CALL FOR POSTERS & RESEARCH DEMOS

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

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-performance computing. 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 solicits posters presentations and research demos, which
report innovative designs, theoretical or experimental results, and
case studies related to Cluster and Grid computing. 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
- Peer-to-Peer Computing

Posters are an excellent way to present ideas and results not yet
developed into a full paper, and offer means of presenting research
in a more casual setting with a chance for in-depth discussion. It is
most likely that Internet facility will be organized at the
conference venue, it is highly advisable to encourage research to
present demo of their work.

Poster authors are invited to submit abstracts of posters (up to 2
pages). Authors planning to show demos with their posters should
notify it in their abstracts. The committee will review the abstracts
in terms of technical quality, originality, relevance, and clarity.
All submissions will be handled via email. A submitted abstract
should be a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a
PostScript printer. Please submit your abstract to
"ccgrid2003poster@...".

After the conference, authors of accepted posters submit electrical
data of posters. The poster chair creates an Online Proceedings of
CCGrid posters for placing on the web.

Submission Deadline: February 7, 2003
