> 	In less than a decade, commodity clusters have become mainstream 
> 	and cost-effective computing platforms for executing a wide range of 
> 	computation-, data-, and transaction-oriented parallel applications. In 
> 	spite of countless deployed platforms and resounding application 
> 	successes, many research and development challenges remain for achieving 
> 	higher performance, scalability, and usability. The IEEE TFCC Cluster 
> 	2004 conference, to be held in beautiful San Diego, provides an open forum 
> 	for researchers, practitioners, and users to present and discuss issues, 
> 	directions, and results that will shape the future of cluster computing. 
> 
> 	SCOPE
