<font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2>CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION</font> <br><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2>4th International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid 2004: IEEE support pending final approval)</font> <br><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2>19-22 April, Chicago, Illinois, USA </font><a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/ccgrid2004"><font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2 color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.mcs.anl.gov/ccgrid2004</a></u></font> <br><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2>SCOPE</font> <br><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2>In 20 years from 1970 to 1990 the Internet and the UNIX operating system became ubiquitous in computer science laboratories and universities. During the 10 years from 1990 to 2000, the Internet emerged as a global information utility, commodity microprocessors fueled the establishment of clusters as computing platforms, and open source Linux became a mainstream operating system. Metacomputers, the concept of combining networked resources into distributed virtual computers, grew into the concept of The Grid with the vision that those distributed resources would be as straightforward to build and use as the ubiquitous electrical power grid.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2>Today we are seeing a convergence of extremes: terascale computers created from Open Source Linux commodity clusters, multi-gigabit/second wide area networks, and the Open Grid Services Architecture, combining Web services designed to scale to millions of endpoints with High Performance Grid concepts designed to scale to TeraFlop endpoints. Together, they are facilitating a new wave of computer science research and development.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2>CCGrid2004, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society (final approval pending), is designed to bring together international leaders who are pioneering researchers, developers, and users of extreme 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.<br>
</font><br>
