Clusters today are an important element of mainstream computing. In less than a decade, ″lowly″ computer clusters have come to prominence as the most convenient and cost–effective tool for solving many complex computational problems. Being able to bring enough computing cycles together in a pool is one thing, but to be able to use these cycles efficiently so that the aggregate power of a cluster can be fully harnessed is another. Research and development efforts must continue to explore better strategies to make clusters an even greater tool when facing the grandest challenges of this age. Cluster will provide an open forum for cluster researchers and system builders, as well as cluster users, to present and discuss new directions and results that could shape the future of cluster computing. <b>Keywords:</b> Cluster Middleware<br>Single–System Image Services<br>Software Environments and Tools<br>Standard Software for Clusters<br>I/O Libraries, File Systems, and Distributed RAID<br>Cluster Networking<br>High–Speed System Interconnects<br>Lightweight Communication Protocols<br>Fast Message Passing Libraries<br>Managing Clusters<br>Cluster Security and Reliability<br>Tools for Managing Clusters<br>Cluster Job and Resource Management<br>High–Availability Cluster Solutions<br>Applications<br>Scientific and E–Commerce Applications<br>Data Distribution and Load Balancing<br>Innovative Cluster Applications<br>Performance Analysis and Evaluation<br>Benchmarking and Profiling Tools<br>Performance Prediction and Modeling<br>Analysis and Visualization<br>Grid Computing and Clusters<br>Grid Applications Integration<br>Network–Based Distributed Computing<br>Mobile Agents and Java for Clusters/Grids<br>Middleware, Tools and Environments
