*Call for Paper: PDP 2020*

28th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and
Network-Based Processing (PDP) Västerås, Sweden (March 11-13, 2020)

http://pdp2020.com/ <http://pdp2020.com/#CFP>

selected high-quality papers from the main track of PDP will be considered
to appear in

Elsevier Journal on Microprocessors and Microsystems (MICPRO),

Elsevier Journal of Systems Architecture (JSA), and

Springer Computing





*General Scope:*

Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing has undergone
impressive change over recent years. New architectures and applications
have rapidly become the central focus of the discipline. These changes are
often a result of cross-fertilisation 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 the well-established areas of parallel and
distributed computing, from industry and the scientific community. PDP 2015
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.
