Call for Papers -- Cluster 2023
https://clustercomp.org/2023/

IEEE Cluster 2023 is the 25th edition of the IEEE Cluster conference series. It is being held in cooperation with SIGHPC.

Clusters remain the primary system architecture for building many of today’s rapidly evolving computing infrastructures including high-performance computing, cloud computing and big data, and are used to solve some of the most complex problems. The challenges to make them scalable, efficient, productive, and increasingly effective requires a community effort in the areas of cluster system design, advancing the capabilities of the software stack, system management and monitoring, and the design of algorithms, methods, and applications to leverage the overall infrastructure

Following the successes of previous IEEE Cluster conferences, for IEEE Cluster 2023, which will be held Oct 31 - Nov 3, 2023 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, we again solicit high-quality original work that advances the state-of-the-art in clusters and closely related fields.

All papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed for their originality, technical depth and correctness, potential impact, relevance to the conference, and quality of presentation. Research papers must clearly demonstrate novel research contributions while papers reporting experiences must clearly describe the lessons learned and the resulting impact, along with the utility of the approach in comparison to previous work.

Authors must indicate the primary topic area of their submissions from the four topic areas provided below. In addition, they may optionally rank their paper relative to the overall set of topics. The papers may be submitted as either a full 10-page paper or as a shorter 4-page paper submission. Please note that references are not counted in the limits on the number of pages and a 10-page submission may be accepted with a caveat of transforming it into a 4-page version for presentation at the conference.

IEEE Cluster 2023 will use a double-blind review process, which is a change from previous years. For an explanation of this process, please refer to the following link: https://clustercomp.org/2023/double_blind.html
