CWCE Call for Presentations - Deadline December 20, 2004

Now in its third year, ClusterWorld Conference & Expo brings together
HPC industry experts, grid professionals and cluster neophytes to
advance the state of the art in cluster computing.

We encourage you to consider proposing a speaker or presentation for
ClusterWorld Conference & Expo 2005, to be held May 23 - 25, 2005, at
the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California.
Submissions may be made through our website located at <a

Speaking at ClusterWorld Conference & Expo will give you the
opportunity to share your expertise with HPC enthusiasts and sustain
the advancement of clustered systems.

If your presentation is selected, you will receive complimentary
admission to ClusterWorld Conference & Expo. A select number of CWCE
presenters will be invited to prepare feature articles for publication
in ClusterWorld Magazine.

This year's program is themed "Competitive HPC: Clustering for
Success." Each or our three conference tracks will illuminate specific
elements relating to our show's overall theme.

* Applications "Software for the Rest of Us"
Featuring novel software technologies that reduce the cost and time to
market for cluster applications. Topics may include languages,
compilers, application specific tools, new ideas/proposals, and case
studies.

* Competitive Industry Solutions "The New Competitive Edge: HPC"
Exploring how HPC has reduced costs and provided a competitive edge to
leading companies. Topics may include (but are not limited to)
manufacturing, process optimization, design, engineering, financial
markets, and on-demand/grid applications. In addition, presentations
that address infrastructure, organizational barriers, and industrial
hold-backs are also welcome.

* Systems "Leaner and Meaner: Next Generation Production Clusters"
Focusing on those new developments that make clusters easier to use,
faster to deploy, and less costly to maintain. Topics can include
cluster software distributions, monitoring tools, storage systems,
administration interfaces, and hardware.
