ARCS 2027 : Unconventional Computing, Beyond von Neumann Computing
Magdeburg, Germany
March 9 -11 2027

The ARCS conferences series has a 40-year tradition on reporting leading-edge research in computer architectures and operating systems. Modern workloads particularly AI/ML and Big Data processing, manipulate enormous amounts of data. As data movement increasingly dominates system design,
conventional von Neumann architectures face fundamental constraints in performance, efficiency, and sustainability. The focus of the ARCS’27 conference will be on unconventional computing covering computer architectures and computing paradigms that explore alternative ways of representing, storing, and processing information

In addition to the main conference, ARCS will host:

• A special track on Organic Computing.
• A special track on Dependability and Fault Tolerance.
• A PhD forum to present the work of early-stage doctoral students.
• A Group forum for new professors, individual researchers, and consortia to present their research.

The proceedings of ARCS 2027 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Topics of Interest

• Hardware Architectures: Reconfigurable architectures, Domain-specific accelerator architectures, RISC-V and open-source architectures, AI accelerators
• rogramming Models and Runtime Environments: Programming models for heterogeneous computing, Operating systems, algorithms, and data structures for heterogeneous architectures, System management including but not limited to scheduling, memory management, power/thermal management, and RTOS
• Cross-sectional Topics: Near- and in-memory computing, Memory and network compression, Organic computing, Pervasive systems

Call for Papers: Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Processing (PDP 2027)
https://www.pdp2027.org
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.

Topics of Interest
PDP welcomes original, unpublished work across (but not limited to) the following areas.

• Algorithms :  Resource-aware & power-efficient algorithms; real-time and fault-tolerant distributed/parallel algorithms; graph and network algorithms.
• – Applications: Numerical and scientific applications with multi-level parallelism; computations over irregular domains.
• Data-centric processing: Scientific workflows; large-scale data processing & management; next-generation storage; FAIR/open data systems.
• Distributed AI: Federated and distributed learning; AI at scale; training of LLMs; benchmarking for AI workloads.
• Distributed computing: Cluster, grid, fog/edge, mobile and cloud systems; service-oriented processing; cost, security & energy models.
• Parallel computing: Accelerator-based systems (GPU, FPGA, neuromorphic, post-CMOS); embedded parallel systems; fault tolerance.
• Programming models & tools: Languages, compilers, middleware and OS; libraries, runtime and systems software; performance prediction.
• HPC state of practice: Managing systems, storage & facilities; HPC in the cloud; networking and cybersecurity; training strategies.
• Systems & architectures: High-throughput & streaming architectures; heterogeneous and hybrid systems; post-CMOS architectures.
