Aims and Scope

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (CCPE) publishes high-quality, original research papers, and authoritative research review papers, in the overlapping fields of:

    Parallel and distributed computing;
    High-performance computing;
    Computational and data science;
    Artificial intelligence and machine learning;
    Big data applications, algorithms, and systems;
    Network science;
    Ontologies and semantics;
    Security and privacy;
    Cloud/edge/fog computing;
    Green computing; and
    Quantum computing.

Emphasis on novel research related to practice and experience in these areas should be an essential aspect of contributions, rather than addressing theoretical aspects. Submissions should involve or imply significant concurrency and/or computational issues. Within these broad areas, the scope of CCPE includes the design, implementation, and optimization of compute and data-intensive applications for parallel and distributed systems. This includes the development of novel concurrent algorithms and applications, their parallel performance analysis and modelling, and new programming or modelling languages and relevant methodologies for composing them. Areas relevant to compute and data-intensive applications include, but are not limited to, large-scale computational science, artificial intelligence, and the processing of voluminous datasets from satellites, scientific experiments, sensor networks, medical instruments, and other sources. Techniques for resource management in the context of parallel and distributed systems, and energy-aware computing are also topics of interest.

Special Issue on XXVI Brazilian Symposium on High Performance Computational Systems (SSCAD 2025) 
Submission Date: 2026-05-31

This special issue will be based on extended versions of the best papers selected from the XXVI Brazilian Symposium on High Performance Computational Systems (SSCAD, former WSCAD), Bonito, MS, Brazil, October 28-31, 2025. The SSCAD symposium has presented important research in computer architecture, high performance computing, and distributed systems, since the beginning of the 2000s. It is a traditional event of the Brazilian Computer Society and the best papers from several previous years’ editions were already published on CCPE.

The scope of the current special issue is broad and representative of the multidisciplinary nature of High-Performance Computing and Computer Architecture research domains, including methodological, technology, application, and system papers. The topics covered include architecture issues, compiler optimization, performance evaluation, parallel algorithms, energy efficiency, and applications.

Please submit your paper to Research Exchange as “SSCAD2025 Special Issue”. Submissions should be prepared for publication according to the journal submission guidelines. It is expected that the submissions address the topic of the conference and contain at least 50% new content regarding any previously published paper. Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other journals.
