14th IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Limassol, Zypern

Following very successful previous editions since 2002, the 14th ISPDC conference will be hosted in Limassol, a beautiful coastal Meditteranean city on the South coast of Cyprus&#046; The conference will be devoted to a highly selective program for papers describing original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in the field of new Parallel and Distributed Computing paradigms and applications&#046; Parallel and Distributed Computing is today a central topic in science, engineering and society in the development of new approaches for the modeling, design, analysis, evaluation, and programming of future parallel and distributed computing systems and applications&#046;<br>Indeed, most computer based systems and applications are nowadays designed following parallel computing paradigms, parallel and distributed architectures, highly threaded programming environments and development tools:<br>&#8211; Applications of parallel and distributed systems: science and engineering, data warehousing, social networks, management of big data, embedded networking systems, cloud and grid computing, mobile systems, web&#8211;based and multimedia systems, knowledge&#8211;based systems, biomedical applications, resource management including green computing…<br>&#8211; Parallel and distributed architectures: instruction&#8211;level and thread&#8211;level parallelism; very large&#8211;scale and reconfigurable systems design; special purpose architectures including graphics processors, VLSI design and signal processors, network processors, media accelerators; network and interconnect architectures; parallel I/O and data storage structures; power&#8211;aware embedded architectures…<br>&#8211; Programming and developments tools: parallel and multicore programming; runtime systems and parallel virtual machines; multi&#8211;threaded operating systems; time&#8211;critical parallel embedded systems, middleware for grids, clouds and data centers; Internet programming tools, performance modeling and evaluation tools…<br>&#8211; Algorithms design: parallel numerical, combinatorial and randomized algorithms; algorithms for heterogeneous systems or systems of systems; communication protocols, multicasting and interconnect algorithms; data&#8211;intensive parallel algorithms; scalability of algorithms and data structures; networking reconfiguration and mobile computing algorithms; performance modelling and optimization; scheduling and load balancing algorithms; efficient security and safety algorithms…<br>
