The 4th International Workshop
on
Cluster Computing -
Technologies, Environments, and Applications
CC-TEA 2000
Organized At
2000 International Conference on
Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'2000)
June 26 - 29, 2000
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

Call for Papers
The availability of "high-speed networks and high-performance microprocessors as commodity components" is making networks of computers an appealing vehicle for cost-effective
parallel computing. Clusters/networks of computers (workstations/PCs/SMPs)
built using commodity hardware and software are playing a major role in
redefining the concept of supercomputing. As a whole, clusters are
becoming an alternative to MPPs and supercomputers in many areas of application.
Scope
The CC-TEA 2000 workshop is the 4th event in the series of cluster
computing related activities organised at the PDPTA conference. Further
information on previous events can be found at home pages of: CC-TEA'99,
HPC on Clusters'98,
and SSI Clusters'97.
All of them are held in Las Vegas, USA in conjunction with the PDPTA conference
series. CC-TEA 2000 will serve as a forum to present the latest research
results of the work by international researchers, developers, and users.
The focus of this workshop will be on both hardware and software
aspects of computing on clusters. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
-
Cluster Hardware (Cluster of PCs, Workstations, or SMPs)
-
High Perormance Communication Networks and Interfaces
-
Light Weight Communication Protocols
-
Cluster Middleware
-
Single System Image Infrastructure
-
System Availabilty 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
Paper Submission
