The 2005 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing September 27-30, 2005 Burlington Marriott Boston, Burlington, Massachusetts, USA http://cluster2005.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commodity clusters today provide a convenient and cost-effective platform for
executing complex computation-, data- and/or transaction-centric applications.
Many research and development challenges remain in all areas of cluster computing,
including middleware, networking, algorithms and applications, resource management,
platform deployment and maintenance, and integration of clusters into computational
grids. Cluster 2005 provides an open forum for researchers, practitioners and users
to present and discuss issues, directions, and results that will shape the future
of cluster computing. This years event is to be held in and around Boston / Cambridge.
See the upcoming Call for Participation for more details.

- Mobile Agents and Java for
Clusters/Grids
TECHNICAL PAPERS ----------------
Format for submission: Full paper drafts, not to exceed 25 double-spaced, numbered pages
(including title, author affiliations, abstract, keywords, figures, tables and
bibliographic references) using 12 point font on 8.5x11-inch pages with 1-inch margins
all around. A web based submission mechanisms will be activated on the conference web site
two weeks before the submission deadline. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or
PDF file. Hard copy submissions can not be accepted.
POSTERS -------
Format for submission: 1 page abstract in PDF including names of authors, their affiliation
and a 200 word abstract sent as an e-mail attachment to the poster chair, Shawn Houston
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Poster presentations will also be offered to the authors of
technical papers that were not accepted for oral presentation but are recommended by the
committee for this form of publication.
