Call for Papers

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 2022 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.
  
• Programming 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.
  

Important Notice

Unfortunately, due to the impact of the new wave of COVID-19 pandemic, PDP 2022 will be held only as a virtual event.

PDP 2022 will be a both on-site and online event. There will be a unique registration fee: Participants will be able to choose (on early 2022) whether to attend the conference at Valladolid, Spain (preferred) or to participate remotely. We will provide instructions to choose between these options at the beginning of 2022.

Important Dates

Deadline for paper submission:
October 1, 2021 -> Extended: October 23, 2021 (23:59 AoE) -- Firm deadline
Acceptance notification: December 22, 2021
Camera ready paper due: January 16, 2022 January 26, 2022
Registration: Open: January 31, 2022; Early registration until: February 18, 2022
Conference: March 9 - 11, 2022

Submission of Papers:

Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt) to the conference main track or to the Special Sessions through the EasyChair conference submission system (see link below) indicating the Main Track or the chosen Special Session.

Submission period will open on July 31st.

Double-blind review: the paper should not contain authors names and affiliations; in the reference list, references to the authors' own work entries should be substituted with the string "omitted for blind review”.

Publication: All accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings volume, that will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The Final Paper Preparation and Submission Instructions will be annoiunced after the notification of acceptance. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will be be submitted for indexing among others, to DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.

Journal Special Issues

Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue in selected JCR-indexed journals: Microprocessors and Microsystems (Elsevier) and The Journal of Supercomputing (Springer).
