The 2nd Annual OSCAR Symposium
Winnipeg, Manitoba   Canada
May 16-19, 2004


Welcome to the 2nd Annual OSCAR Symposium. This year's symposium is again co-hosted with the International Symposium on High Performance Computing Systems and Applications (HPCS2004). The conference is being held at the Delta Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We look forward to seeing you in May!

OSCAR is a widely used cluster installation and management toolkit. The software is a snapshot of best known methods for building, programming and using clusters. 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/.

The conference registration form is available from the main HPCS 2004 web site. The registration fee covers both conferences. Note, early registration ends April 16.
