35th Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Processing
The PDP conference
PDP stands as a premier European and international conference that comprehensively addresses all facets of parallel and distributed processing. Encompassing a spectrum from foundational theory to practical implementation, it spans systems of all scales—from small configurations to the largest infrastructures. PDP addresses fundamental computational challenges alongside robust applications and delves into architecture, compiler, language, interface design and deployment, tools, support infrastructures, and performance optimization.
Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing fields have evolved significantly, marked by the emergence of novel architectures and groundbreaking applications. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major application area, leveraging parallel and distributed technologies to enhance computational efficiency and enable sophisticated AI models. This progress emphasizes the dynamic fusion of parallel and distributed technologies with other rapidly advancing domains. In evaluating these cutting-edge developments, it is imperative to highlight the latest research achievements in established areas of parallel and distributed computing, drawing insights from both industrial and academic perspectives.
PDP 2027 brings researchers and practitioners together in Barcelona to present new work and discuss where the field is heading next. Accepted papers are published through IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted for indexing in Scopus and other major indexing services.

How to submit
Papers report original, unpublished work and are reviewed double-blind. The review process is double-blind and all papers need to be “best-effort” anonymized. We strongly encourage making code and data available anonymously (e.g., in an anonymous GitHub repository via Anonymous GitHub or in a Dropbox folder).
Page limit
Full papers: up to 8 pages.
Double-blind
Remove author names, affiliations, and identifying acknowledgements from the manuscript prior to submission.
Proceedings
Accepted papers are published through IEEE CPS and submitted for indexing in Scopus and other major services.
Author registration
At least one author of each accepted paper must register with a regular registration and present the paper at the conference.
Paper templates
