20th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC 2022)
20th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC 2022)
AusPDC 2022 will be held online in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW 2022), 14 - 18 February 2022.
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 20th in 2022 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
Fog/edge computing
Grid and Cluster computing
Big Data processing and analytics
Virtualization, containers, unikernels, orchestration and other enablers
Security, trust and privacy in Clouds/Fog/Edge
Mobile, sensor networks and Internet of things
Data storage, placement and replication
Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchains
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
Network function virtualisation and Software defined networks
Performance evaluation and modelling
Datacentre and Interconnection networks
Performance accelerators
Problem-solving environments
Parallel programming models, languages and compilers
Operating systems and runtime systems
Resource scheduling and load balancing
Data mining and machine learning
Smart Agents and Reinforcement 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 organisations, we encourage papers and participation from international researchers.

The proceedings of the symposium will be published by ACM in conjunction with ACSW 2022. Papers should be formatted in double column according to ACM conference paper formatting guidelines ACM SIG Proceedings Templates. The following guidelines must be met for all submissions:
Submissions must be in English.
Submissions must not exceed 10 pages for full papers, 4 pages for short papers and 2 pages for posters.
Submissions must be in PDF format. Other formats will not be accepted.
Submissions must clearly state the problem being addressed, the goal of the work, the results achieved, and the relation to other work.
Submissions must be original contributions that have not been published previously, nor already submitted to other conferences or journals in parallel with this conference.
Authors must choose the appropriate satellite conference or workshop for your submission
Papers are to be submitted via the ACSW 2022 Easy Chair Submission Site. Upon logging into the system, please select “New Submission”, then select "Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing" track and proceed through the steps for submission. Every submission will be reviewed by a minimum of three members of the program committee.
A selection commission chaired by the AusPDC technical programme committee will select and acknowledge the best paper and the best student paper to receive an award during the conference.
