PDP 2018 - Call for Papers - http://www.pdp2018.org
Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing has undergone impressive changes over recent years. New architectures, advanced programming models, improved efficiency and novel application domains have rapidly become the central focus of this discipline.
These changes are often a result of cross-fertilisation of parallel and distributed computational paradigms with other rapidly evolving technologies in different disciplines. It is of paramount importance to review and assess these new developments in relation with the recent research achievements in the different areas of parallel and distributed computing, considering both the industrial and scientific point of view.
PDP 2018 will provide a forum for the discusssion of these and other issues through original research presentations and will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and new ideas at the highest technical and applicative level.
PDP 2018 will be held in Cambridge, UK, March 21-23, 2018.

Important dates:
Paper submission: 15 Sep, 2017
Acceptance notification: 13 Oct, 2017
Camera ready due: 17 Nov, 2017
Conference: 21 - 23 Mar, 2018
Submission of papers
Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the Conference proceedings format (double-column, 10pt) to the conference main track
through the EasyChair conference submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?confpdp2018). The possibility to submit a paper to a special session
will appear soon.
Double-blind review: the paper should not contain authors names and affiliations; in the reference list, references to the authors' own work entries should be
substituted with the string "omitted for blind review".
Publication: All accepted papers will be included in the same volume, published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The Final Paper Preparation and
Submission Instructions will be published after the notification of acceptance. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present their papers at
the Conference. Conference proceedings will be submitted to IEEE explore, CDSL, and for indexing among others, to DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of
Knowledge.
