AusPDC 2018 - 16th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC)

In 2010, AusGrid event was broadened to include all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and hence was called as Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC). Following a couple of successful events, it comes to the 16th this year in the series. In both New Zealand and Australia parallel and distributed computing has been recognised as strategic technologies for driving their moves towards knowledge economies. A number of projects and initiatives are underway in both countries in these areas. There is a natural interest in tools which support collaboration and access to remote resources given the challenges of the countries location and sparse populations.
Topics of interest for the symposium include (but not limited to):
Cloud computing
Grid and Cluster computing
Big Data processing and analytics
Data storage, placement and replication
Multi-core systems
Peer-to-peer computing
GPUs and other forms of special purpose processors
Service computing and workflow management
Managing large distributed data sets
Middleware and tools
Performance evaluation and modeling
Datacentre and Interconnection networks
Performance accelerators
Problem-solving environments
Parallel programming models, languages and compilers
Operating systems and runtime systems
Fog/edge computing and software defined networks
Mobile, sensor networks and Internet of things
Resource scheduling and load balancing
Data mining and machine learning
Computational Science and Engineering
Agent-based computing
Reliability, security, privacy and dependability
e-Science and e-Health Applications
The symposium is primarily targeted at researchers from Australia and New Zealand, however in the spirit of parallel and distributed computing, which aims to enable collaboration of distributed virtual organizations, we encourage papers and participation from international researchers.
