> SCOPE
> =====
>
> Commodity-based clusters and Grid computing technologies are rapidly
> developing, and are key components in the emergence of a novel
> service-based fabric for high capability computing. Cluster-powered
> Grids not only provide access to cost-effective problem-solving power,
> but also promise to enable a more collaborative approach to the use of
> distributed resources, and new economic products and services.
> CCGrid2005, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society is designed to bring
> together international leaders who are pioneering researchers,
> developers, and users of clusters, networks, and Grid architectures and
> applications. The symposium will also serve as a forum to present the
> latest work, and highlight related activities from around the world.
> CCGrid2005 is interested in topics including, but not limited to:
>
>
> o Hardware and Software (based on PCs, Workstations,
> SMPs or Supercomputers)
> o Middleware for Clusters and Grids
> o Dynamic Optical Network Architectures for Grid Computing
> o Parallel File Systems, including wide area file systems,
> and Parallel I/O
> o Scheduling and Load Balancing
> o Programming Models, Tools, and Environments
> o Performance Evaluation and Modeling
> o Resource Management and Scheduling
> o Computational, Data, and Information Grid Architectures and Systems
> o Grid Economies, Service Architectures, and Resource Exchange
> Architectures
> o Grid-based Problem Solving Environments
> o Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Grid Applications
> o Portal Computing / Science Portals
>
