Forwarded from pario mailing list CFP - Parallel I/O in Cluster and Grid Computing Systems

             The 2nd International Workshop on
    Parallel I/O in Cluster and Grid Computing Systems
                     in conjunction with
4rd IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid
2004) April 19-22, 2004, Chicago, Illinois, USA


Call for Papers
The growing popularity of the Internet along with the availability of powerful
computers and  high-speed networks as low-cost commodity components are changing
the way we do computing.  Two advanced computing themes have emerged: "cluster
computing" and "global network  computing" (grid computing). The aim of the
workshop is to address parallel I/O related problems on Cluster Computing and
Computational Grids by bringing together international cluster and network-based
computing researchers, developers,  and users. The workshop will also serve as a
forum to present the latest work, and  highlight related activities from around
the world. We are soliciting  high quality papers reporting original work on
parallel I/O in Cluster Computing and Computational Grids in both theoretical
and experimental research on a broad range of topics, including, but not limited
to:
File Systems and Parallel I/O for clusters;
Data Distribution and Load Balancing in the presence of I/O Operations;
Tools for Operating and Managing I/O Operations;
Novel Hardware and Software I/O Architectures;
Parallel Disk Models and Algorithms;
Experiences with Massive Data Sets;
I/O Performance Analysis;
Drivers and Application Programming Interfaces;
Advances in Storage Technology;
Compilers Techniques for High Performance I/O Operations;
Language and runtime libraries;
Parallel I/O support for databases.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit papers of not more than 8 pages of double column
text using single spaced 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE
8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines, see
