Dear Colleagues

The organizing of the 19th International Symposium on Parallel and 
Distributed Computing — ISPDC 2020, 5-8 July in Warsaw has been 
seriously disturbed by the prolonged corona virus pandemic in Poland and 
in other countries over the world. The time when the standard conference 
based on safe personal visits to Poland could take place seems to be 
practically unpredictable. Therefore, the ISPDC 2020 Chairs regret very 
much to take the decision to change the conference format and to 
organize the ISPDC 2020 as an on-line conference via the Internet at the 
same time as planned before i.e. 5-8 July 2020.

Following that, we extend the deadline for paper submissions until 11 
May 2020. The ISPDC 2020 organizers will enable on-line presentations of 
accepted papers by their authors via the Internet during the conference 
sessions accessible to the conference participants. The presented papers 
will be published in the post-conference electronic proceedings.

We keep cordial invitations of all the interested in 
parallel/distributed system methodology to contribute to the 19th 
International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing — 
ISPDC 2020, by submitting papers. The conference will support the 
development of parallel and distributed computing techniques and the 
respective system technology by quick distribution of new ideas and 
concepts via the electronic media. The ISPDC 2020 conference organized 
on-line will provide a wide international forum for these purposes with 
an interactive and friendly professional atmosphere.

The 19th ISPDC event will follow successful previous editions in 
different venues since 2002. You are invited to read the ISPDC 2020 
description on the conference web page https://ispdc2020.ipipan.waw.pl/.

Paper submission:
You are invited to submit original papers of up to 8 pages, written in 
English and compliant with the IEEE format (8.5″x11″, two-column). 
Accepted papers will be submitted for the possible inclusion into 
IEEE Xplore®. Submissions must be PDF files.
To have an accepted paper published in the ISPDC 2020 Proceedings, the 
paper must be presented on-line at the conference. For this, at least 
one of the authors is required to register for the conference at the 
full rate which for the electronic ISPDC 2020 format is considerably 
lower than for the standard conference. Best paper awards will be 
granted to paper(s) receiving the highest quality rating from the 
Reviewers and the Program Committee. The authors of the highest quality 
papers will be invited to prepare extended paper versions for 
publication in selected journals through fast publication tracks.
Paper submissions should be made using exclusively EasyChair submission 
window (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ispdc2020).

Important dates:
Papers submission final deadline: May 11, 2020 (anywhere on Earth)
Paper acceptation notification: June 2, 2020
Author registration start: June 2, 2020
Early registration of non-authors: June 2, 2020
Camera ready papers due/end of author registration: June 15, 2020
ISPDC 2020 on-line Symposium via network: July 5—8, 2020

We will appreciate it if you distribute this CfP to your network.

Best regards,
ISPDC 2020 Organizing Committee
