CALL FOR PAPERS

17th Workshop on Advances in Parallel and Distributed Computational
Models (APDCM, http://www.cs.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/apdcm/)

May 25, 2015,

to be held in conjunction with

28th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing
Symposium(IPDPS, http://ipdps.org/ )

May 25-29, 2015 Hyderabad, INDIA

The past twenty years have seen a flurry of activity in the are of
parallel and distributed computing. In recent years, novel parallel
and distributed computational models have been proposed in the
literature, reflecting advances in new computational devices and
environments such as optical interconnects, programmable logic arrays,
networks of workstations, radio communications, mobile computing, DNA
computing, quantum computing, sensor networks etc. It is very
encouraging to note that the advent of these new models has lead to
significant advances in the resolution of various difficult problems
of practical interest.

The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the
exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques and research in
the field of the parallel and distributed computational models. The
workshop is meant to bring together researchers and practitioners
interested in all aspects of parallel and distributed computing taken
in an inclusive, rather than exclusive, sense. We are convinced that
the workshop atmosphere will be conducive to open and mutually
beneficial exchanges of ideas between the participants.
