Hello,
This is a reminder that the deadline for paper submissions to the 6th
Annual Symposium on OSCAR and HPC Cluster Systems is approaching.
The symposium has an expanded scope this year to more broadly encompass the
general area of high performance computing (HPC) clusters. Please see the
Call for Papers (listed below) for further details.
The symposium will again be co-hosted with the HPCS and is to be held
at the University of Laval in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. This year the
conference is slightly later in the year (June 9-11, 2008) to align with the
Quebec City 400th anniversary celebrations.
Thanks,
--tjn

The 6th Annual Symposium on OSCAR and HPC Cluster Systems

June 9-11, 2008
Universite Laval
Quebec City, QB, Canada
CALL FOR PAPERS
The 6th annual Symposium on OSCAR and HPC Cluster Systems (OSCAR '08)
will be held June 9-11, 2008 in conjunction with the 22nd Annual
International Symposium on High Performance Computing Systems and
Applications hosted at the Universite Laval in Quebec City, QB, Canada.
This year we are expanding the symposium's scope to encompass more
generally the area of HPC cluster computing. The emphasis is still
primarily at the system level, as opposed to HPC applications. This
includes the tools and techniques as well as experiences. We also
encourage authors to provide critical analysis of emerging topics in
clustering, to include heterogeneous or hybrid systems, reconfigurable
systems, virtualized systems, and all topics related to their use and
management. This may include high-level descriptions or low-level
capabilities -- the software and hardware aspects of HPC clusters.
Topics of interest:
-------------------
Authors are encouraged to submit papers on topics relating to, but not
limited to, the following:
* Cluster management issues, particularly those at large scale
* HPC cluster software and/or hardware case studies
* Heterogeneous/hybrid cluster management
* Cluster tools/infrastructure
* Build and configuration management techniques/tools
* Administration policy/practice (experiences)
* Cluster management software surveys
* System description/interfaces
* Fault tolerance
* System resilience
* Emerging hardware/systems
* Diskless systems
* Cluster and system virtualization
* Experience papers
* System software testing and validation
Submission Guidelines:
----------------------
All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings to be published by
the IEEE. Formatting information will be available on the OSCAR'08
conference website. Papers will be limited to 7-pages in double-column
IEEE proceedings format.
Important Dates:
----------------
Submission Deadline*: February 14, 2008 (*Deadline extended!)
Acceptance Notification: February 26, 2008
Final Paper Deadline: March 21, 2008
