Future parallel and distributed computing systems will only see an increase in constituent devices/components in order to support emerging and advanced applications in different domains and they need suitable mechanisms at this scale. The cost vs performance trade-off demands energy efficiency. And, fault-tolerance is unavoidable to save the work performed while failure free operation in extreme scale systems. This session seeks original research papers in the context of parallel, distributed and grid computing systems and applications in different domains concentrating on scalability, energy efficiency and fault-tolerance mechanisms.
