The 2001 International Workshop on
Object and Component Technologies for Cluster Computing (OCT'2001)

Organized at the
IEEE Int'l Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid
(CCGrid'2001)

 May 16-18, 2001
Brisbane, Australia

In Cooperation with the IEEE Task Force on Cluster Computing (TFCC)

Call for Papers

Scope

            With powerful microprocessors and high-performance networks being available as commodity components, clusters of computers are increasingly being used as a low-cost alternative to traditional parallel machines. The software design for such machines is still a challenge. Distributed objects (or components) provide a powerful paradigm for writing applications on clusters. However, there are still many issues which need to be explored for object-based cluster computing.

           OCT 2001 solicits research papers that focus on any aspect of applicability of the object model to clusters. Relevant topics include, but not limited to:

Paper Submission

        Papers submitted to OCT 2001 must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere.  The manuscript must be written in English, at most ten pages long (including figures and tables, but excluding references), single- or double-spaced, using an 11-point font. Electronic submission in PostScript or PDF format is required; papers should be submitted by email to either of the co-chairs. All papers will be reviewed. The deadline for submissions is November 4, 2000. Decisions will be announced by December 20, 2000. Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of CCGrid'2001, to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
