<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; ">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. </div>
