CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

20th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing
(ISPDC 2021)
June 20—23, 2021, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania
https://ispdc2021.utcluj.ro/

Today, Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) is an important research area that has a strong contribution to the advancements in science, engineering, and society at large. Its evolution is characterized by a continuous development of new approaches in the modeling, design, analysis, evaluation, and programming of parallel and distributed computing systems and applications. The goal of the 20th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (ISPDC 2021) is to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners for the purpose to share their experiences in the development of new algorithms, applications, architectures for parallel and distributed computing, as well as modeling and simulation, visualization, and data analytics. We cordially invite you to submit your contributions to the ISPDC 2021. The event will host invited talks, presentations of contributed papers, tutorials, workshops, and industrial sessions.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed computing.
