Special Issues

Special Issue on ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers 2026 Submission Date: 2026-09-30 This special issue shall collect improved versions of the best papers presented at the 23rd ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers (CF'26), an eclectic, interdisciplinary, and collaborative community of researchers exploring emerging technologies across the broad field of computing, with the shared goal of advancing scientific breakthroughs that benefit society. We also invite open submissions from the broader community, with the aim of bringing together contributions featuring original research at the frontiers of a wide range of topics, including novel computational models and algorithms, new application paradigms, computer architecture (from embedded to HPC systems), computing hardware, memory technologies, networks, storage solutions, compilers, and runtime environments. Computing Frontiers (CF) refers to the spearhead developments that advance the state-of-the-art in computing. This comprises a broad scope of research, driven by recent technological advances in wide-ranging fields impacting computing, such as novel computing models and paradigms, advancements in hardware, network, and systems architecture, cloud computing, novel device physics and materials, new application domains of artificial intelligence, big data analytics, wearables, and IoT. The boundaries between state-of-the-art and revolutionary innovation constitute the advancing frontiers of science, engineering, and information technology, and are the focus of the CF community. The core themes of the special issue include: - Hardware Frontiers - Distributed Systems and Networking Frontiers - System Software and Runtime Frontiers - AI for Systems and Systems for AI - Cutting-edge Developments in Computing for Society and Emerging Applications - Pushing the Boundaries of Cross-cutting Computing Challenges Guest editors: Dr. Hubertus Franke, IBM Research, New York Prof. Maurizio Palesi, University of Catania, Italy Dr. Serena Curzel, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Dr. Amir Raoofy, Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Munich, Germany Dr. Ruben Salvador, CentraleSupelec, IRISA, Inria, France Dr. Estela Suarez, Jülich Supercomputing Centre and University of Bonn, Germany Special issue information: Full Scope and Topics include: ● Hardware Frontiers ○ Emerging processor architectures, accelerators and memory systems ○ Post-exascale high-performance computing ○ Quantum computing systems, runtimes, algorithms and applications ○ Post-Moore's Law Systems: Neuromorphic, biologically-inspired, superconducting, and hyperdimensional computing ● Distributed Systems and Networking Frontiers ○ Multi and Hybrid Cloud computing, and challenges ○ IoT, CPS, edge and embedded computing systems ○ Breakthroughs in edge-cloud continuum, satellite computing ○ Sensor networks and wearable computing ● System Software and Runtime Frontiers ○ Virtualization and containerization ○ Platforms for workflows and distributed programming ○ Compilers and optimizations for heterogeneous systems ○ Big data platforms and analytics ● AI for Systems and Systems for AI ○ Distributed AI and federated learning ○ System design for efficient AI ○ AI for system optimizations ○ Agentic AI and AIOps ● Cutting-edge Developments in Computing for Society and Emerging Applications ○ AI ethics: Privacy, sustainability, biases ○ Emerging applications in education, health, smart cities and emerging markets ● Pushing the Boundaries of Cross-cutting Computing Challenges ○ Designing for scale and performance ○ Energy efficiency and sustainability ○ Security and privacy, impact of quantum and AI ○ Reliability, resiliency and dependability ○ Algorithmic innovations ○ Benchmarking, performance analysis and modeling Submissions in other emerging fields of computing, and those proposing new directions of research and out-of-the-box, innovative solutions for grand computing challenges, are also welcome. https://www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue/333434/special-issue-on-acm-international-conference-on-computing-frontiers-2026

Special Issue on Federated and Distributed AI Across the Edge–Cloud Continuum Submission Date: 2027-01-30 This special issue seeks contributions that address these emerging challenges through novel models, architectures, abstractions, and empirical evaluations. Its goal is to bridge the gap between centralized HPC systems and adaptive distributed infrastructures, and between theoretical models of consistency and coordination and their practical implementations at scale. By embracing the convergence of parallel and distributed computing, federated learning, and edge-cloud architectures, this issue invites original research that advances scalable, resilient, and context-aware computing across the full compute continuum. The special issue builds upon research presented at the upcoming 16th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics (PPAM 2026). While submissions that extend regular or keynote presentations from the conference are particularly encouraged, with the requirement of at least 30% new content beyond the material presented at PPAM, the call is also open to external, general contributions not affiliated with the conference. Guest editors: Dr. Anna Kobusińska, Poznań University of Technology, Poland Prof. Roman Wyrzykowski, Czestochowa University of Technology, Poland Prof. Ewa Deelman, University of Southern California, USA Prof. Maciej Drozdowski, Poznań University of Technology, Poland Special issue information: Topics of Interest (not limited to): Parallel and distributed algorithms for edge-to-cloud computing Federated learning: algorithms, convergence, and communication efficiency across heterogeneous nodes Distributed AI training and inference across edge, fog, and cloud platforms Privacy-preserving and secure federated learning in multi-stakeholder environments Consistency models and coordination protocols in heterogeneous edge-cloud environments Task scheduling and resource management across the compute continuum Data replication, synchronization, and mobility-aware protocols Programming models and abstractions for edge-aware distributed systems Fault tolerance, consensus, and adaptive replication strategies Performance modeling and benchmarking of distributed systems at scale Secure and privacy-preserving computing across edge, fog, and cloud layers Applications in smart cities, cyber-physical systems, and digital twins Manuscript submission information: Submissions must present original, unpublished research and must not be under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts will be reviewed according to the editorial standards of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. Papers extending PPAM 2026 contributions should clearly identify the related conference paper and provide a cover letter describing the new material included in the journal version. A substantial extension, such as at least 30% new content beyond the conference version, should be provided. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the JPDC Guide for Authors. Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process in line with JPDC standards. Papers should be submitted through the Submission site for Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing under the article type "VSI: Federated AI in ECC". Final Manuscript Submission Deadline:30th January 2027 Keywords: Edge–Cloud Continuum; Parallel and Distributed Computing; Federated Learning; Distributed AI; Resource Management and Scheduling; Consistency Models; Fault Tolerance; Programming Models https://www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue/335444/special-issue-on-federated-and-distributed-ai-across-the-edge-cloud-continuum
