*********************************************************
       The 18th Annual IFIP International Conference
       on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2021)
                  November 3-5, 2021

             https://npc2021.dnac.org/

In cooperation with IFIP WG 10.3, Concurrent Systems
Co-sponsorships:
    - IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP)

*********************************************************

High-Performance Computing and Big Data are two main areas where NPC
2021 will provide a dynamic forum to explore, discuss and debate
state-of-the-art technology issues and challenges. High-performance
computers and big-data systems are tied inextricably to the broader
computing ecosystem and its designs and market adoption. We strongly
believe that the stakes are high and are far beyond the boundaries of
nations and continents. We invite all researchers around the world to
submit papers to NPC 2021.

We share the view that, during the past decade, the tools and cultures
of high-performance computing and big data analytics are diverging to
the detriment of both, and the international community should find a
unified path that can best serve the needs of a broad spectrum of
major application areas. Unlike other tools, which are limited to
particular scientific domains, computational modeling and data
analytics are applicable to all areas of science and engineering, as
they breathe life into the underlying mathematics of scientific
models. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

*********************************************************
* Parallel and distributed applications and algorithms
- Parallel and distributed issues and opportunities on artificial
intelligence applications.
- Parallel algorithms for computational and data-enabled scientific,
engineering, biological, and medical applications.
- Parallel algorithms for accelerators, neuromorphic architectures, and
other emerging architectures.

* Parallel and distributed architectures and systems
- Domain-Specific Accelerators for AI, deep learning, and applications in
industry sectors (such as health: genomics, finance: blockchain, and others)
- Non-traditional Computing Technology (Quantum/Optical/Superconducting
computers)
- Emerging architectures and systems at all scales, from embedded to cloud.
- Systems for enabling parallelism at an extreme scale.
- Power-efficient and green computing systems.
- Neuromorphic architectures and cognitive computing accelerators.
- Heterogeneous multicore architectures and accelerators.
- In-Memory and near-data computing.
- Network and interconnect architectures.
- Storage systems in novel big data architectures.
- IoT and Edge Computing-related topics.

* Parallel and distributed software environments and tools
- Programming models and compilation for existing and emerging platforms.
- Dataflow programming models, frameworks, languages, and environments for
data-enabled platforms.
- Virtualization of machines, networks, and storage.
- I/O, file systems, and data management.
- Resource management, scheduling, and load balancing.
*********************************************************

Authors should submit the full version of the paper by July 11, 2021,
AOE. The full version should be a PDF file following the submission
guidelines that will be made available on the submission
website. Papers should be submitted for blind review. New-idea papers,
as well as papers that significantly advance established areas, are
strongly encouraged. Submission issues should be directed to program
chairs, Jean-Luc Gaudiot, Guangming Tan, and Stéphane Zuckerman. We
will publish top papers from NPC 2021 in a special issue of the
International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP), and the
proceedings will be published as part of Springer LNCS.

*********************************************************
