The 18th International Workshop on Advanced Distributed and Parallel Network Applications (ADPNA-2024) will be held in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems (NBiS-2024) at Soonchunhyang (SCH) University, Asan, South Korea on September 19th - September 21st, 2024. The ADPNA-2024 covers novel theories, designs, and applications on distributed and parallel computing systems. Various types of computers are interconnected in communication networks. Networks of today are going through a rapid evolution and are giving a great influence to our society. In addition, computing models are changing to new architecture like Croud computing model. For this reason, it is significant to discuss how to design and realize high-performance computation models and network applications for distributed and parallel systems. The ADPNA-2024 International Workshop seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics. Papers of high quality in the following areas will be invited: TOPICS: Cloud, IoT, and P2P Computing Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Mobile Networks and Applications Distributed Database and Data Mining Internet Computing and Web Applications Agent and Intelligent Computing Communication Technology and Protocols Dependable and Autonomic Systems Distributed and Parallel Algorithms Fault-tolerant and Dependable System Multimedia Tools and Applications Network Control and Performance Evaluation IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline : June 20, 2024 Author Notification : July 1, 2024 Author Registration : July 15, 2024 Final Manuscript Due : July 15, 2024 Workshop Dates : September 19 - September 21, 2024 PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE Authors should submit a paper to the ADPNA-2024 workshop with maximum 10 pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. However, authors can add up to 2 extra pages with the appropriate fee payment. Papers must be prepared using the Lecture Notes Style of Springer Proceedings. You can submit your paper according to the announcement on the NBiS-2024 web site: NBiS-2024 Submission Guidelines for Review Please select the track: "W-ADPNA-2024: The 18th International Workshop on Advanced Distributed and Parallel Network Application (ADPNA-2024)".
