CLUSTER 2015 CALL FOR PAPERS
<br>
<br>
Following the successes of the series of Cluster conferences, for
2015
<br>
we solicit high-quality original papers presenting work that
advances
<br>
the state-of-the-art in clusters and closely related fields. All
<br>
papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed for their originality,
<br>
technical depth and correctness, potential impact, relevance to
the
<br>
conference, and quality of presentation. Research papers must
clearly
<br>
demonstrate research contributions and novelty, while papers
reporting
<br>
experience must clearly describe lessons learned and impact, along
<br>
with the utility of the approach compared to the ones in the past.
<br>
<br>

*** Submission Guidelines ***
<br>
<br>
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in PDF format.
<br>
Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and
may
<br>
not exceed 10 letter-size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures,
tables
<br>
and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings.
<br>
Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned
without
<br>
review. Authors should make sure that their file will print on a
<br>
printer that uses letter-size (8.5 x 11) paper. The official
language
<br>
of the conference is English. All manuscripts will be reviewed and
<br>
will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
<br>
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance
to
<br>
the conference attendees.
<br>
<br>
Paper submissions are limited to 10 pages in 2-column IEEE format
<br>
including all figures and references. Submitted manuscripts
exceeding
<br>
this limit will be returned without review. For the final
camera-ready
<br>
version, authors with accepted papers may purchase additional
pages at
<br>
the following rates: 200 USD for each of two additional pages. See
<br>
formatting templates for details:

<br>
<br>
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that
is
<br>
not currently under review for any other conference or journal.
Papers
<br>
not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and
<br>
further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)
<br>
notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors
and
<br>
sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due
date,
<br>
exceeding the page limit, or not appropriately structured may not
be
<br>
considered. Authors may contact the conference chairs for more
<br>
information. The proceedings will be published through the IEEE
<br>
