The growth of Internet and other web technologies requires the development of new algorithms and architectures for parallel and distributed computing. International journal of Distributed and parallel systems is a bi monthly open access peer-reviewed journal aims to publish high quality scientific papers arising from original research and development from the international community in the areas of parallel and distributed systems. IJDPS serves as a platform for engineers and researchers to present new ideas and system technology, with an interactive and friendly, but strongly professional atmosphere.
