2nd CALL FOR PAPERS - PDP 2016
24th Euromicro International Conference on
Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing
www.pdp2016.org

Aquila Atlantis Hotel, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, 17-19 Feb. 2016

Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing has undergone
impressive changes over recent years. New architectures and applications
have rapidly become the central focus of the discipline. These changes are
often a result of cross-fertilization 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 well-established areas of parallel and
distributed computing from industry and the scientific community. PDP 2016
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 organization.
* 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.
* 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.

In addition, special sessions will address upcoming novel topics:
* GPU computing and Many Integrated Core Computing
* Formal Approaches to Parallel and Distributed Systems
* Advances in High-Performance Bioinformatics, Systems and     Synthetic
Biology
* Security in Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing
* Energy Efficient Management of Parallel Systems, Platforms, and
Computations
* Cloud Computing on Infrastructure as a Service and its     Applications
* High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation
* On-Chip Parallel and Network-Based Systems
* Multi-Core and Many-Core systems for Embedded Computing

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission:        09 August 2015
Acceptance notification:     19 October 2015
Camera ready due:         10 November 2015
Conference:             17-19 February. 2016
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Publication: All accepted papers, regular and short, will be included in
the same volume, published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The
Final Paper Preparation and Submission Instructions will be published after
the notification of acceptance. Authors of accepted papers are expected to
register and present their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings
will be submitted to IEEE explore, CDSL, and for indexing among others, to
DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge. Selected papers will
be published in special issues of one or more journals.

Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the
Conference proceedings format ( double-column, 10pt) to the conference main
track or to Special Sessions through the EasyChair conference submission
system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2016) with an
indication of the main track or the name of the Special Session.

Double-bind 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”.
