Researchers interested in submitting a special issue proposal should adhere to the submission guidelines.

This international journal is directed to researchers, engineers, educators, managers, programmers, and users of computers who have particular interests in parallel processing and/or distributed computing.

The Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing publishes original research papers and timely review articles on the theory, design, evaluation, and use of parallel and/or distributed computing systems. The journal also features special issues on these topics; again covering the full range from the design to the use of our targeted systems.

Research Areas Include:

• Theory of parallel and distributed computing
• Parallel algorithms and their implementation
• Innovative computer architectures
• Parallel programming
• Applications, algorithms and platforms for accelerators
• Cloud, edge and fog computing
• Data-intensive platforms and applications
• Parallel processing of graph and irregular applications
• Parallel and distributed programming models
• Software tools and environments for distributed systems
• Algorithms and systems for Internet of Things
• Performance analysis of parallel applications
• Architecture for emerging technologies e.g., novel memory technologies, quantum computing
• Application-specific architectures e.g., accelerator-based and reconfigurable architecture
