ICA3PP is now recognized as the main regular event of the world that is covering many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the power of computing system has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for academics and practitioners from countries around the world to exchange ideas for improving the efficiency, performance, reliability, security and interoperability of computing systems and applications.<br><br>Following the traditions of the previous successful ICA3PP conferences held in Hangzhou, Brisbane, Singapore, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Beijing, Cyprus, Taipei, Busan, Melbourne, Fukuoka, Vietri sul Mare and Dalian, ICA3PP 2015 will be held in Zhangjiajie, China. The objective of ICA3PP 2015 is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to advance the theories and technologies in parallel and distributed computing. ICA3PP 2015 will focus on two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing, i.e. architectures, algorithms and networks, and systems and applications. The conference of ICA3PP 2015 will be hosted by Central South University, China.<br><br>Scope and Interests<br><br>Track 1: Parallel and Distributed Architectures<br>Chairs: Xiaofei Liao, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China<br> Haikun Liu, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore<br> Stefano Giordano, Italian National Interuniversity Consortium for Telecommunications, Italy<br>(1) Parallel Architectures<br>(2) Parallel Programming Paradigms<br>(3) Heterogeneous Systems<br>(4) Service-Oriented Architectures<br><br>Track 2: Software Systems and Programming Models<br>Chairs: Xinjun Mao, National University of Defense Technology, China<br> Sanaa Sharafeddine, Lebanese American University, Beirut, Lebanon<br> Marco Vanneschi, University of Pisa, Italy<br>(1) Cluster, Distributed & Parallel Operating Systems and Middleware<br>(2) Multi-core Programming and Software Tools<br>(3) Parallel I/O Systems and Storage Systems<br>(4) Parallel and Distributed Databases<br> <br>Track 3: Distributed and Network-based Computing<br>Chairs: Casimer DeCusatis, Marist College, US<br> Qi Wang, University of the West of Scotland, United Kingdom<br>(1) Mobile and Wireless Computing<br>(2) Cloud, Grid, and Services Computing<br>(3) Web and Internet Computing<br>(4) Interconnection Networks<br>(5) Network Simulations<br><br>Track 4: Big Data and its Applications<br>Chairs: Shui Yu, Deakin University, Australia<br> Jose M.

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 must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 14 pages or 20 pages with the over length charge in LNCS format, including tables, figures, references and appendixes. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers. 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. ICA3PP 2015 reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from the digital library and index service), if the paper is not presented at the conference. All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (EI Indexed). Two outstanding papers will be selected to receive the Best Paper Award. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in several SCI & EI indexed special issues (Pending).<br><br><br>Important Dates<br>(1) Workshop Proposal Deadline: March 1, 2015<br>(2) Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2015<br>(3) Author Notification: July 15, 2015<br>(4) Camera-ready Papers Due: September 15, 2015<br>(5) Conference Dates: November 18-20, 2015<br><br>General Co-Chairs<br>Guojun Wang, Central South University, China<br>Peter Mueller, IBM Zurich Research, Switzerland<br>Qingping Zhou, Jishou University, China<br><br>Program Co-Chairs<br>Albert Zomaya, University of Sydney, Australia<br>Gregorio Martinez, University of Murcia, Spain<br>Kenli Li, Hunan University, China<br><br>Program Vice Co-Chairs<br>Xiaofei Liao, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China<br>Haikun Liu, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore<br>Stefano Giordano, Italian National Interuniversity Consortium for Telecommunications, Italy<br>Xinjun Mao, National University of Defense Technology, China<br>Sanaa Sharafeddine, Lebanese American University, Beirut, Lebanon<br>Marco Vanneschi, University of Pisa, Italy<br>Casimer DeCusatis, Marist College, US<br>Qi Wang, University of the West of Scotland, United Kingdom<br>Shui Yu, Deakin University, Australia<br>Jose M.
