The 45th International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP-2016) will be held in Philadelphia, PA during August 16-19, 2016

Scope

Parallel and distributed computing is a central topic in science, engineering and society. ICPP, the International Conference on Parallel Processing, provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. ICPP 2016 will be organized around the following tracks:

* Algorithms
* Applications
* Computer Architecture
* Data Venter and Cloud Computing
* IO, Storage and File Systems
* Performance, reliability and dependability Modeling
* Programming Models and Languages
* Cyberphysical Systems

Important Dates

Paper Submission Deadline: February 26, 2016
Author Notification: May 6, 2016
Final Manuscript Due: June 3, 2016
Paper Submission

Paper submissions should be formatted according to the CPS standard double-column format with a font size 10 pt or larger. Each paper is strictly limited to 10 pages in length. Submissions should represent original, substantive research results. See the link for electronic paper submission instructions.

Proceedings

Proceedings of the conference and workshops will be available on CD or USB at the conference and will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL for EI indexing.

No-show Policy: Accepted paper which is not presented in the conference will be excluded from the final proceedings submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL.
