Interestingly, these three topics have been present in the research agenda of several independent communities that usually do not meet. The interest in these topics started in the computer architecture community and now pervades in parallel and distributed systems research. There have also been significant efforts to address caching, coherence, and consistency topics using compiler, operating system, or application support. The same topics have been addressed by the operating system community in the context of file and storage systems for both servers and mobile systems. More recently, the interest in these issues has been revived by the web technologies, including content and service replication and distribution. This workshop is the first forum to bring together people from all these areas of research by recognizing that their specific caching, coherence, and consistency issues have common denominators that can lead to fruitful discussions and exchange of ideas. The first edition of this workshop, which took place in conjunction with ICS'01, was very successful. This workshop continues the tradition of the workshops on software DSM, which were associated with ICS in 1999 and 2000, but with a much broader scope. Scope We solicit abstracts of original research including, but not limited to, the following areas: * Memory caches * Cache modeling and analysis * Consistency models * File and storage caching * Caching, coherence, and consistency in shared-memory multiprocessors * Caching, coherence, and consistency in clusters * Caching, coherence, and consistency in peer-to-peer systems * Caching, coherence, and consistency in mobile systems * Web caching, coherence, and consistency * Web content replication and distribution Authors are invited to submit 5-page extended abstracts that demonstrate original and unpublished research in the areas of data caching, coherence, and consistency. Abstracts should be emailed to wc3@cs.rutgers.edu in postscript or pdf format. Accepted papers can be up to 10 pages long and will be published by the workshop. One of the authors will be required to attend the workshop and present the work. Important Dates May 08, 2002: Extended abstracts due. (extended from May 01) May 20, 2002: Notification sent to authors. June 10, 2002: Camera-ready papers due.
