Call  For Participation

The availability of high-speed networks and increasingly powerful commodity microprocessors are making the usage of clusters, or networks, of computers an appealing vehicle for cost effective parallel computing. Clusters, built using commodity-of-the-shelf (COTS) hardware components as well as free, or commonly used, software, are playing a major role in redefining the concept of supercomputing.

The International Workshop on Cluster Computing (IWCC'99) is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, through the Task Force on Cluster Computing (TFCC). IWCC is a first annual international meeting in IEEE sponsored Cluster Computing technical meeting series and will serve as a forum to present the latest work by international researchers and developers as well as highlight activities in this area around Asia Pacific rim. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, are:

• Cluster Hardware (Cluster of PCs, Workstations, or SMPs)
• High Performance communication networks and interfaces
• Light Weight Communication Protocols
• Cluster Middleware
• Single System Image Infrastructure
• System Availability Infrastructure
• Issues in Building Scalable Services
• File Systems and Parallel I/O
• Job and Resource Management
• Data Distribution and Load Balancing
• Programming Paradigms/Environment for Clusters
• Message Passing Systems such as MPI and PVM for Clusters
• Problem Solving Environments for Clusters
• Tools for Operating and Managing Clusters
• Java for High Performance Computing
• Algorithms for Solving Problems on Clusters
• Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications on Clusters

See http://www.dcs.port.ac.uk/~mab/tfcc/IWCC99/  or http://www.dgs.monash.edu.au/~rajkumar/tfcc/IWCC99/ for the up-to-date information on the workshop.

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research papers in all areas of cluster computing to the Programme Chair. All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee members and external referees. Please ensure that papers does not exceed ten (10) single-spaced pages using 10 point size type on A4 pages. The paper can include figures, tables, references, etc.  The paper should include an abstract of approximately 100 to 150 words. Authors must submit their papers electronically through the link at http://dhpc.adelaide.edu.au/conferences/IWCC99/ Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) file and make sure that it will print on a PostScript printer that uses A4 sized paper. Manuscripts must be received by on or before the deadline for submission.
