This is the third international symposium on cluster computing and the
Grid sponsored by IEEE and ACM 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 conference consists of the refereed paper
presentations, tutorials, posters, and several workshops related to
cluster and grid technologies. The conference program highlights are
enclosed for your consideration.

On-line Registration & Accommodation Reservation is now open. Advance
Registration should be done by April 11. For information about your
Registration and Accommodation, please visit the pages on the Website.

If you require an invitation letter or any other documents, please
