                    CALL FOR PAPERS

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate to the 17th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (ISPDC’2018). Following very successful runs since 2002 at locations all over Europe. The next ISPDC edition will be held from 25 to 27 June 2018, in Geneva, Switzerland. It will be organised  University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HES-SO) and the University of Geneva.

The mission of ISPDC is to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners involved in the development of new algorithms, architectures and applications for parallel and distributed computing, as well as visualisation and post-processing. The goal is to provide an interactive and friendly yet professional forum for original research contributions describing novel ideas, groundbreaking results or quantified system experiences.

PAPER SUBMISSION:

You are invited to submit original papers of up to 10 pages, written in English and compliant with the IEEE standard (8.5"x11", two-column). The Conference Publishing Services (CPS, http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/home) will publish the proceedings. To be published in the ISPDC-2018 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full rate. The paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference. A best paper award will be presented to paper(s) receiving the highest quality rating from the reviewers and the PC.
Paper submissions are to be made accessing the registration page on EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ispdc2018).

PhD WORKSHOP SUBMISSION:

A PhD workshop will be organised as part of ISPDC'18 to offer PhD student an occasion to present their on-going research to their pairs
and the entire community. It will be organised as short oral presentations. Interested PhD student should submit a one-page
abstract of their research objectives and the methodology they plan to apply. Preliminary results are welcome but not required. Due to
possible time limitation, the organising committee may have to proceed to a selection of the most representative submission.
