TCSC Newsletter
The TCSC Newsletter is the official newsletter of the
IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee for Scalable Computing (TCSC).
Some newsletters are derived from our heritage: IEEE CS Task Force on Cluster Computing (TFCC).
TCSC Chair Rajkumar Buyya, The University of Melbourne, Australia

Call for Contribution to TCSC Newsletter
The purpose of the TCSC Newsletter is to provide dated information on network-based scalable computing systems, especially clusters and grids, and their applications in a timely manner. Also, we will accept short articles written by TCSC members. The plan is to initially "publish" two issues a year. For the 2006 year, the two issues will be "published" on-line in April and November month.
Specific topics of interest include cluster and grid interconnection networks, middleware, single-system image, resource and scheduling management policies, distributed programming environments, principles of scalable and reliable software engineering, and high-performance and high-availability computing applications.
The editor is soliciting items pertaining to Scalable Computing, particularly in Cluster Computing, Grid Computing, and Supercomputing Applications areas, for the following categories:
- Announcements about TCSC Activities and Achievements
- Conference Announcements
- Call for Papers - Conferences
- Call for Papers - Journals
- Journal Announcements
- Special Issues on Cluster Computing, Grid Computing, and Supercomputing Applications in Journals
- Workshops
- Tutorials
- Book Announcements
- Project Announcements, e. g., Formation of New Research Group
- Product Announcements
- New Web Sites on Scalable Computing
- Short Articles
Please send items to the Editor Vanish Talwar (vanish.talwar@hp.com).
