CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION

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.

CCGrid2002, 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 previous meeting in the series held in Brisbane, Australia, has attracted participants from 28 countries around the world. 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
Those wishing to organize workshops, present tutorials on emerging topics, participate in the industry track, or exhibit posters are advised to contact the respective chairs.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to 8 pages of double-column text using single spaced 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE manuscript guidelines, see http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. Papers over 10 pages will be immediately rejected without refereeing. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Papers can be submitted via http://saturn.cs.vu.nl/~ccgrid/submission.html. Queries may be directed to the program committee chair: bal@cs.vu.nl. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library.

Impressions of Berlin

For about 40 years, nobody knew if the two parts of Germany, East and West, would ever be re-unite. Today everybody can go through the Brandenburg Gate and only a line of paving stones is marking the position of the former wall.

Today your are going to find modern buildings designed by international and German architects of the 1990s in addition to the architecture of the 19th and 20th century. The Reichstag (place of the German Parliament), which has been redesigned by Norman Foster and now has a glass dome, is an outstanding example.

We hope you enjoy this brief introduction to our city, and we look forward to seeing you at the CCGrid2002 in Berlin.
