SCOPE

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.

SUBMISSION

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@alab.dis.titech.ac.jp".

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.
