** NEW **
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SBAC-PAD2020 deadline postponed to June 28, 2020
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following the recommendations/guidelines from the World Health
Organization (WHO), regarding the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
outbreak, SBAC-PAD2020 will be converted to an online event.

However, the outbreak's impact led to several requests for postponing
significantly the deadlines. Following those requests, the
SBAC-PAD2020's organization decided to postpone the deadline for the
abstract/paper submission to June 28, 2020.

Stay safe!

Aims and Scope
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SBAC-PAD is an international symposium, started in 1987, which has
continuously presented an overview of new developments, applications,
and trends in parallel and distributed computing
technologies. SBAC-PAD is open for faculty members, researchers,
specialists and graduate students around the world.

In this edition, the symposium will be held at the University of
Porto, Porto, Portugal. The city of Porto is famous for its Port wine
and beautiful scenery, architecture and cultural events. More

-Power and energy-efficient systems
-Processor, cache, memory, storage, and network architecture
-Real-world applications and case studies
-Reconfigurable, resilient and fault-tolerant systems

Submissions must be in English, 8 pages maximum, following the IEEE
conference formatting guidelines. To be published in the conference
proceedings and to be eligible for publication at the IEEE Xplore, at
least one of the authors must register at the full rate and present
her/his work.

Authors may not use a single registration for multiple papers. Authors
of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of
