Parallel processing will empower various advance applications even with
  today's network and Internet (such as WWW) environments.

We are inviting submissions of papers which present original  research results, techniques, methodologies and experiences from researches and applications of new algorithms and system developments of scientists, scholars and industrial practitioners in the areas of parallel/cluster computing, architectures and network protocol systems.

Part of the submissions to this special issue will be invited from selected papers of The fourth International Conference on Algorithms and Architecture for  Parallel Processing (ICA3PP 2000) http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/~ica3pp2k/ to be held in Hong  Kong, 11 - 13 December 2000.

Papers submitted to the special issue should contain original materials not published in nor submitted to other journals. Papers should be written in English in a single-column, double-spaced format, less than or  equal to 20 pages. The special issue co guest editors seek submissions of  the highest quality and the topics of interest include, but are not  limited to:

  • Cluster computing architectures

  • Network QoS routing protocols

  • High Performance Web-based systems

  • Cluster systems and middlewares

  • Parallel architectures, algorithms and programming paradigms

  • Parallel and distributed databases

  • Distributed scheduling and load balancing

  • Performance of parallel and distributed computing systems

  • Tools and environments for parallel and distributed software development

  • Fault-tolerant computing and network protocols

All papers will be reviewed by at least three referees.
