Description

Parallel computing is everywhere, on smartphones, laptops; at online shopping sites, universities, computing centers; behind the search engines. Efficiency and productivity at these scales and contexts are only possible by scalable parallel algorithms using efficient communication schemes, routing and networks.

Theoretical tools enabling scalability, modeling and understanding parallel algorithms, and data structures for exploiting parallelism are more important than ever.

High quality, original papers are solicited on this general topic of theory and algorithms for parallel computation including communication and network algorithms.
