PDP 2027: 35th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network Based Processing

Barcelona, Spain, 17-19 March 2027

The PDP conference stands as a premier European and international conference that comprehensively addresses all facets of parallel and distributed processing. Encompassing a spectrum from foundational theory to practical implementation, it spans systems of all scales—from small configurations to the largest infrastructures. PDP addresses fundamental computational challenges alongside robust applications and delves into architecture, compiler, language, interface design and deployment, tools, support infrastructures, and performance optimization.

Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing fields have evolved significantly, marked by the emergence of novel architectures and groundbreaking applications. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major application area, leveraging parallel and distributed technologies to enhance computational efficiency and enable sophisticated AI models. This progress emphasizes the dynamic fusion of parallel and distributed technologies with other rapidly advancing domains. In evaluating these cutting-edge developments, it is imperative to highlight the latest research achievements in established areas of parallel and distributed computing, drawing insights from both industrial and academic perspectives.

The 2027 PDP Conference will offer a high-quality program featuring research papers, special sessions, and stimulating keynote speakers
