Submitted by Rocco Rongo

35th Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Processing
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
17-19 March 2027

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. Accepted papers are published through IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted for indexing in Scopus and other major indexing services.

Submitted by Aman Arora

The International Conference on Field Programmable Technology (FPT)
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA,
Dec 7-10 2026

FTP is a premier conference on field-programmable technologies, reconfigurable computing devices and systems.
PhD Forum and Work-In-Progress Papers at FPT’26 offer great opportunities for students to present their research, communicate with other researchers, get early feedback from experts in the community of field-programmable technology, and experience the atmosphere at an international conference.

We invite short paper submissions (same template/rules as for the main conference) on topics relevant to the FPT community. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format, following the IEEE style, and are limited to 4 pages (including references).
Accepted submissions will be accepted for either an oral presentation or a poster-only presentation. One presentation will be selected for the FPT 2026 PhD Forum and WIP Papers Best Presentation Award, to be presented at the conference award ceremony.

Submission deadline
September 8, 2026 (23:59 AoE).

Call for Papers: CCMCC 2026: IEEE Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Memory-Centric Computing
https://ccmcc.eclectx.org/cfp.html
Submitted by Saugata Ghose

2nd IEEE Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Memory-Centric Computing (CCMCC 2026)
October 28–30, 2026
Lyon, France

CCMCC is a cross-disciplinary conference that brings experts from diverse fields together, all working on advancing memory-centric computing, including in-memory computing and processing-near-memory. It is a platform for sharing new ideas, exchanging insights, and fostering collaboration. CCMCC’s mission is to accelerate innovation in memory-centric computing and its integration into real-world applications.

Full paper
We are soliciting papers across the entire memory-centric computing stack, from software to architecture to circuits and devices. Authors can choose to submit either a long paper (10–12 pages) or a short paper (4–6 pages). More details on topics of interest, formatting requirements, and submission procedures can be found at https://ccmcc.eclectx.org/cfp.html

Important Dates
Abstracts due June 15;
Full papers due June 22

Extended Abstracts
We are soliciting 2-page extended abstracts from the community on memory-centric computing. Extended abstracts may be based on new and work-in-progress result, submitted or recently published articles. Accepted abstracts will not be published in proceedings, but will be asked to give a short presentation and present a poster at the conference.
A selection of extended abstracts will be invited for the “Highlights of the Year” session, where they will receive a longer presentation slot and have a chance at winning the “CCMCC Seal of Excellence” award.

Submit your abstract at https://ccmcc26.hotcrp.com/ by August 7 (AoE)!
