Scope of TPDS

IEEE Computer Society Transactions are scholarly archival journals designed to inform readers on the state of the art in a number of specialized fields related to computers and computing. Each Transactions is headed by a volunteer Editor-in-Chief whose task is to solicit and/or accept manuscripts, distribute them to recognized experts for peer review, schedule them for publication, and have the resulting product archived for posterity.

IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) is published monthly. It publishes a range of papers, comments on previously published papers, and survey articles that deal with the parallel and distributed systems research areas of current importance to our readers. Particular areas of interest in parallel systems include, but are not limited to: a) architectures: design, analysis, implementation, and performance measurements of multiple-processor systems; multicore processors, clusters, networks and interprocessor communications; reliability, and fault-tolerance; b) software: parallel languages and compilers; scheduling and task partitioning; operating systems, and programming environments for multiple-processor systems; c) algorithms and applications: models of computation; analysis and design of parallel algorithms; experimental results on multiprocessors, and homogeneous/heterogeneous clusters. Particular areas of interest in distributed systems include, but are not limited to: a) algorithms and foundation: algorithms and theory for building distributed system infrastructure and for running distributed applications; b) distributed operating systems: systems and middleware design for scalable distributed systems; resource sharing and allocation; fault-tolerance and dependability of distributed systems; security and privacy issues in distributed systems; c) Internet computing and distributed applications: emerging networking technologies for distributed systems such as ad hoc and sensor networks, grid systems, peer-to-peer computing, web services, and data management in the Internet.
