I'd appreciate it if you would forward the CFP to friends and colleagues working in this area also. Thanks in advance. regards Garry <p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- Euro-Par 2001 Cluster Computing Workshop Organised by Manchester University, England, from 28th to 31st August 2001. http://homer.csm.port.ac.uk/events/europar2001/ In co-operation with the IEEE Task Force on Cluster Computing The availability of high-speed networks and increasingly powerful commodity microprocessors are making the adoption of clusters, or networks of computers an appealing vehicle for cost effective parallel computing. Clusters, typically 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 high performance and availability computing. The Euro-Par Cluster Computing workshop is an international meeting that aims to highlight European and International cluster computing activities and act as a forum for the latest research and development with clusters. The topics of interest for this cluster-computing workshop include, but are not limited to: * Hardware architectures; * High performance networks and interfaces; * Light weight communication protocols; * Middleware: * Single system image infrastructure; * High availability infrastructure; * Issues in building scalable services; * Resource management and scheduling; * File systems and parallel I/O * Data distribution strategies and load balancing; * Programming paradigms and environments; * Message passing systems; * Problem Solving Environments; * Tools for operating and managing clusters; * Scientific, engineering, commercial and real time applications; Euro-Par Conference Series -------------------------- Euro-Par is the annual European conference on parallel computing. It is dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel computing. Euro-Par 2001 is organised as a day of tutorials, two half-day plenary sessions, and a number of parallel sessions. Proceedings ----------- All papers selected for this workshop by peer-review process with be published in Euro-Par conference proceedings through Springer Verlag (LNCS series), Germany.
