Special Issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing on Cluster and Network-Based Computing
Papers are solicited for a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing tentatively scheduled to be published in October 2000. The emerging trend in high performance computing is moving toward cluster and network-based computing, an approach in which powerful commodity singleÂmultiprocessor workstations or PCs are connected by either a general purpose local area network or specialized interconnects to achieve high performance. The recent advances in high-speed networks, efficient networking protocols, and improved microprocessor design for higher performance, coupled with the availability of public domain software, including operating systems, compiler tools, and message passing libraries, make cluster computing appealing in terms of both performance and costeffectiveness. Along with this, web-based computing or Internet-based computing is becoming a popular paradigm for cost-effective high-performance computing.
This special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC) is targeted to include a collection of original unpublished research articles that describe recent advances in cluster and network-based computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, network architectures and protocols, design and implementation of software tools for efficient messaging layers, programming environments, and distributed shared memory abstraction, the use of Java and web-based computing, design, implementation, and performance evaluationÂtuning of parallel and distributed algorithms, scheduling and global resource management, parallel IÂO and file systems, high-availability, check-pointing and process migration, and compiler, operating system, and architecture support for cluster computing. Papers of experimental or theoretical nature will be considered.
Authors should follow the JPDC manuscript format as described in the Information for Authors at the end of each issue of JPDC and should submit their papers by January 1, 2000. The review decision will be communicated to the authors by June 1, 2000. The journal version will be reviewed as per the JPDC review process for special issues.
