CALL FOR PAPERS

25th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and 
network-based Processing (PDP 2017)
St. Petersburg, Russia
March 6-8, 2017
http://www.pdp2017.org

Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing has undergone 
impressive changes over recent years. New architectures and applications 
have rapidly become the central focus of the discipline. These changes 
are often a result of cross-fertilization of parallel and distributed 
technologies with other rapidly evolving technologies. It is of 
paramount importance to review and assess these new developments in 
comparison with recent research achievements in well-established areas 
of parallel and distributed computing from industry and the scientific 
community. PDP 2017 will provide a forum for the presentation of these 
and other issues through original research presentations and will 
facilitate the exchange of knowledge and new ideas at the highest 
technical level.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• Parallel Computing: massively parallel machines; embedded parallel and 
distributed systems; multi- and many-core systems; GPU and FPGA based 
parallel systems; parallel I/O; memory organisation.
• Distributed and Network-based Computing: Cluster, Grid, Web and Cloud 
computing; mobile computing; interconnection networks.
• Big Data: large scale data processing; distributed databases and 
archives; large scale data management; metadata; data intensive 
applications.
• Models and Tools: programming languages and environments; runtime 
support systems; performance prediction and analysis; simulation of 
parallel and distributed systems.
• Systems and Architectures: novel system architectures; high data 
throughput architectures; service-oriented architectures; heterogeneous 
systems; shared-memory and message-passing systems; middleware and 
distributed operating systems; dependability and survivability; resource 
management.
• Advanced Algorithms and Applications: distributed algorithms; 
multi-disciplinary applications; computations over irregular domains; 
numerical applications with multi-level parallelism; real-time 
distributed applications.
   In addition, special sessions will address upcoming novel topics:
   • GPU computing and Many Integrated Core Computing
• Formal Approaches to Parallel and Distributed Systems
• Advances in High-Performance Bioinformatics, Systems and Synthetic 
Biology
• Security in Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing
• Energy Efficient Management of Parallel Systems, Platforms, and 
Computations
• Cloud Computing on Infrastructure as a Service and its Applications
• High Performance Computing in Modeling and Simulation
• On-chip parallel and network-based systems

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission: 25th Sept. 2016
Acceptance notification: 25th Oct. 2016
Camera ready due: 20th Nov. 2016
Registration: 20th Nov. 2016
Conference: 6th - 8th Mar. 2017


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in 
the Conference proceedings format ( double-column, 10pt) to the 
conference main track through the EasyChair conference submission system 
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2017). The possibility to 
submit a paper to a special session will appear soon.

Double-bind review: the paper should not contain authors names and 
affiliations; in the reference list, references to the authors' own work 
entries should be substituted with the string "omitted for blind review”.

Publication: All accepted papers will be included in the same volume, 
published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The Final Paper 
Preparation and Submission Instructions will be published after the 
notification of acceptance. Authors of accepted papers are expected to 
register and present their papers at the Conference. Conference 
proceedings will be submitted to IEEE explore, CDSL, and for indexing 
among others, to DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.
