************************* ICA3PP-2026 Call for Papers**********************
The 26th International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing (ICA3PP-2026)

https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/ica3pp2026/

Exeter, UK, 26-28 October 2026

INTRODUCTION
=============
ICA3PP-2026 is the 26th event in this prestigious series of conferences started in 1995 that are devoted to algorithms and architectures for parallel processing. ICA3PP is a famous event worldwide that covers many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. With the booming computing demands from every aspect of modern society, parallel processing has become increasingly critical and challenging. This conference provides a forum for academics and practitioners from all over the world to exchange ideas on improving the efficiency, performance, reliability, security and interoperability of computing systems and applications.

ICA3PP-2026 will be held in Exeter, England, UK. The objective of ICA3PP 2026 is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to advance the theories and technologies in parallel and distributed computing. ICA3PP 2026 will focus on two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing, i.e. architectures, algorithms and networks, and systems and applications.

ICA3PP-2026 is a CCF Rank-C conference. Accepted papers would be published by Springer and submitted to the EI database. Excellent papers with extension will be recommended for special issues in renowned journals.


SCOPE AND TOPICS
================
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Track 1: Parallel and Distributed Architectures
Track 2: Software Systems and Programming Models
Track 3: Parallel and Distributed Algorithms and Applications
Track 4: Service Dependability and Security in Distributed and Parallel Systems
Track 5: Network Architectures and Algorithms
Track 6: Big Data Management and Analysis

Track 8: Performance Modeling and Evaluation


PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE
==========================
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/ica3pp/) with PDF format. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, timeliness, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
Papers must be clearly presented in English in Springer LNCS Format. Detailed formatting guidelines are available at: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines.
