Call for Papers
The 5th annual OSCAR
Symposium (OSCAR ’07) will be held May 13-16, 2007 in conjunction with the 21st
Annual International Symposium on High Performance Computing Systems and
Applications hosted at the
Since its first public release in
April 2001, the OSCAR cluster toolkit has continued to provide users with an
effective cluster installation, management, and computing software stack. OSCAR is a snapshot of best-known
methods for building, programming and using clusters. OSCAR started as a
traditional Beowulf software stack, has expanded in recent years to embrace
numerous cluster computing styles including diskless, high-availability,
scalable systems, and single system image. The project is an open effort among
industry, academic and research groups to help simplify the setup and
management of computing clusters. Further information is available at the OSCAR
web site, http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/.

- Experiences using the OSCAR environment
- Cluster Frameworks
- Cluster and Grid as it relates to OSCAR
- Experiences creating OSCAR packages
- Proposals for new OSCAR projects or distributions
