The International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Grid Computing
The International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Grid Computing (PDGC) will serve as an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in advances in the areas of parallel, distributed and grid computing. It will provide an opportunity to present and exchange advanced scientific and technological information in hardware, software and theoretical foundation in these areas. The First International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Grid Computing (PDGC-2010) was organized by Jaypee University of Information Technology, Waknaghat, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India from 28th Oct 2010 to 30th Oct 2010. Noted keynote speakers, YALE PATT, CHRISTIAN SCHEIDELER, DIETMAR TUTSCH, RAJ KUMAR BUYYA addressed the first conference which was a great success. The proceedings of the conference were published in IEEE xplore( see link here).
The conference will be organized biennially. The second conference on Parallel, Distributed and Grid Computing (PDGC-2012) will be held in Dec 2012. The conference is technically sponsored by IEEE Delhi Section Computer Society Chapter and the proceedings will be published by reputed Journal and IEEE xplore.
PDGC-2010 received a total of 374 paper submission from 17 countries. Program committee members and reviewers from 18 countries contributed to the peer review process. Every paper was reviewed by a minimum of two program committee members and /or reviewers. PDGC-2010 finally selected 65 papers (an acceptance rate of 17.3% ) for inclusion in the conference proceedings these papers have been organized in to 12 technical sessions.
PDGC-2012 received a total of 606 Paper Submissions from 22 Countries. Technical Program Committee (TPC) Members and Reviewers from 25 Countries contributed to the peer review process. We finally selected 169 papers (an acceptance rate of 27.88%) for inclusion in the conference proceedings. All These papers have been organized into 22 oral technical sessions.
