Authors are invited to submit papers for the Second IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid2002). The Symposium will be held in Berlin, Germany, May 21-24, 2002. Papers are due Nov. 1, 2001. All papers must follow the IEEE manuscript guidelines (see http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm). Papers of more than 10 pages will be rejected without refereeing. Instructions for submitting papers will be posted on the conference website. The symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Cluster Computing. It will bring together international cluster and grid computing researchers, developers, and users to present and exchange innovations and findings that will drive future research and products. Areas of interest to conference participants include, but are not limited to, the following: 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 interested in organizing workshops, presenting tutorials, exhibiting posters or participating in the industry track, should contact the appropriate committee chair.
