WORKSHOP ON CLUSTER-BASED COMPUTING
In conjunction with the 1999 ACM Int. Conf. on Supercomputing
www.csrd.uiuc.edu/ics99
June 20, 1999,
Rhodes, Greece
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Call For Submissions -- Workshop on Cluster-Based Computing
To be held in conjunction with the Thirteenth International Conference on
Supercomputing June 20-25, in Rhodes, Greece
(www.csrd.uiuc.edu/ics99)
Cluster-based computing platforms offer the potential for high
performance at low cost by exploiting program parallelism across
multiple commodity uniprocessors. This new computing paradigm offers a
number of interesting research areas, such as operating systems for
clustered computers, support for clusters of SMP's, and application
tuning on clustered machines. This workshop will explore recent
developments in this field, presenting many preliminary results from
work which has not yet been published elsewhere.
Abstracts are solicited for presentations in all areas related to
cluster-based computing, including, but not limited to:
- Multi-level Exploitation of Parallelism
- Clusters of SMP's
- Compiler Support for Clusters
- Hardware Support for Clustered Computing
- Performance Analysis
- Run-time and Operating Systems
- Programming Language and Synchronization Issues
- Software Tools
- Application Results
Abstracts should be approximately 500 words in length, ASCII text
only. Please e-mail the abstracts to conference co-chairs, Nicholas
Carter and Steven Lumetta, at cluster@crhc.uiuc.edu. Authors of accepted
abstracts will be asked to prepare 5-page papers for distribution at
the workshop.
Deadlines:
Abstract Submission: April 26, 1999
Acceptance Notification: May 7, 1999
5-Page Final Papers: May 24, 1999

Software Distributed Shared Memory
1st Workshop on Software Distributed Shared Memory
www.cs.umd.edu/~keleher/wsdsm99/WSDSM'99
To be held in Rhodes, Greece, June 25, 1999 in conjunction with the
1999 ACM International Conference on Supercomputing ICS'99
Workshop proceedings to be published by the ICS organization
THEME
During the last few years, research on consistency models, protocols
and applications has allowed the software DSM field to become
relatively mature. At the same time, general-purpose networks and
communication packages have advanced to the point where clusters of
workstations can be coupled almost as closely as hardware
multi-processors.
The theme of this workshop, then, will be an attempt to answer the
following two related questions:
What remains to be done in DSM?
and more to the point:
Will DSM ever move into the mainstream?
To this end, we solicit abstracts of original DSM research including, but
not limited to, the following areas:
applications
clusters of multiprocessors
compiler support
DSM and real-world applications
fault tolerance
hardware support
memory models
multi-threading
online adaptation
performance/debugging tools
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission: 15 April 1999
Notification of acceptance: 30 April 1999
Camera-ready copies: 15 May 1999
SUBMISSION DETAILS
All submissions must be in the form of extended abstracts whose length ---
including abstract, figures, bibliographies, and appendices ---
does not exceed 4 US letter (8.5" x 11"; no A4 please) pages; papers
longer than 4 pages will be summarily rejected. Text must be set in
no smaller than a 10 pt font, be single-spaced and single-columned, and
include page numbers. Each paper will be reviewed by the
program chairs.
Full versions of accepted papers will be published separately from the
ICS'99 Proceedings and will be available at the conference site.
The workshop proceedings will be published as an ACM ICS'99 volumes
(bearing the ACM logo).
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format. It is essential
that they print without difficulty on a variety of printers using Adobe
Acrobat Reader. Therefore, be sure that you have included any special
fonts that you use, etc. It is the absolute responsibility of the
authors to ensure that the submitted papers will print easily. The
corresponding author is requested to include at the start of the message
containing the paper:
complete postal address
e-mail address
phone number
fax number
Email your submission to wsdsm@cs.umd.edu. Receipt of submissions will be
promptly acknowledged. Late submissions will not be
accepted; sorry, no exceptions. In cases where electronic submission is
not possible, please contact one of the program chairs (see
below).
