=================================================

The IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (*NPC*)
is a prestigious annual gathering that serves as a global platform for
researchers, academics, and industry professionals to explore and exchange
cutting-edge ideas, research findings, and innovative solutions in the
fields of network, distributed and parallel computing.

NPC is one of the CCF (China Computer Federation) recommended Conferences
(C series, Computer Architecture/Parallel and Distributed Computing/Storage
System), and also a C recommended conference under the ranking system by
CORE, the Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia.
