UNSW, Sydney, 29 January – 1 February 2024
AusPDC 2024 will be held in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW 2024), 29 January - 1 February 2024.
The Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC) stands as a premier gathering for distributed systems researchers in the Australasian region, covering a diverse array of topics within parallel and distributed computing.
In 2024, we are proud to unveil a revitalized event, featuring an expansive program that includes keynotes from prominent Australian researchers, technical paper presentations, engaging workshops and tutorials, Panel Discussions, and industry presentations.
The 22nd instalment of this symposium will convene in 2024 at UNSW in Sydney, Australia. It will be held as an integral part of the Australian Computer Science Week (ACSW 2024), the foremost occasion for Computer Science researchers in the Australasian region.
The symposium primarily targets researchers from Australia and New Zealand. However, in the spirit of parallel and distributed computing, which aims to foster collaboration among distributed virtual organizations, we actively encourage international researchers to submit papers and participate.
Topics of interest for the symposium include (but are not limited to):
Cloud/Fog/Edge computing
Serverless computing and FaaS
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
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
Paper submissions due: 25 November 2023 10 December 2023
Author notification: 12 December 2023 25 December 2023
Camera-ready full papers due: 13 January 2024
Conference dates: 29 January - 1 February 2024
All dates refer to 23:59, anywhere on earth (AoE) on that day.
The proceedings of the symposium will be published by ACM in conjunction with ACSW 2024. Papers should be formatted in double columns 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 2024 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.
