The mission of the 10th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners involved in the development of new algorithms and architectures for parallel and distributed computing. The goal is to provide an interactive and friendly yet professional forum for original research contributions describing novel ideas, groundbreaking results and/or quantified system experiences. We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the 10th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (ISPDC 2011). We welcome proposals for full or half-day sessions/workshops within the scope of the conference. Interest tracks include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
