AusPDC 2023 will be held online in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW 2023), 30 January - 3 February 2023.

Scope of the Symposium

In 2010, AusGrid was broadened to include all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and hence was renamed to Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC). Following many successful events, the 21st conference in the series will be held in 2023. In New Zealand and Australia, parallel and distributed computing have been recognised as strategic technologies for their contributions to knowledge economies. Both countries have a natural interest in tools, platforms, frameworks, and techniques that support collaboration, access to, and management of remote resources given the challenges that arise from the countries' location and sparse populations.

Topics of interest for the symposium include (but are not limited to):

• Cloud/Fog/Edge computing

• Serverless computing

• Microservice application management and orchestration

• Cluster management (e.g., container management systems, GPU cluster management)

• High performance computing

• Artificial intelligence applied to distributed and parallel systems

• Mobile, sensor networks and Internet of Things

• Distributed stream processing

• Big Data processing and analytics

• Virtualization, containers, unikernels, orchestration and other enablers

• Security, trust and privacy in Clouds/Fog/Edge

• Large-scale data management (e.g., storage, placement, replication)

• Network function virtualisation and software defined networks

• Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchains

• Service computing and workflow management

• Performance evaluation and modelling

• Datacentre and Interconnection networks

• Performance accelerators

• Parallel programming models, languages and compilers

• Operating systems and runtime systems

• 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.

Paper Submission

The proceedings of the symposium will be published by ACM in conjunction with ACSW 2023. 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 2023 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.

Paper Awards

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.
