SI - New Trends in Parallel, Distributed, and Network-based Processing: Key Technologies, Tools, and Applications

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 the cross-fertilization of parallel and distributed technologies with other rapidly evolving technologies. Therefore, reviewing and assessing these new developments is paramount compared with recent research achievements in the well-established parallel and distributed computing areas from industry and the scientific community. The 31st Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing (PDP 2023), held in Naples, Italy, from 1 through 3 March 2023, provided a forum for presenting these and other issues through original research presentations and will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and new ideas at the highest technical level. This special issue of The Journal of Supercomputing (JSUPE) is devoted to selected high-quality papers from the PDP 2023, as well as to other high-quality papers that fit the Special Issue topics.

The special issue seeks original papers in the following (but not exhaustive) range of topics:

●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.

●Computing Continuum: computing models, environments, and tools for the transparent interaction of Cloud, Fog, and Edge Computing.

●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.

All papers will undergo the standard, rigorous journal review process and be accepted only if well-suited to the topic of this special issue and meeting the scientific level of the journal. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editor in Chief.
