Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing Special Issue on Scalable Platforms and Advanced Algorithms for IoT and Cyber-Enabled Applications

Aims and Scope

With the help of emerging technologies and computing paradigms, such as the mobile computing, social computing, and Internet of Things, the Cyber-Physical Systems have continuously permeated into all walks of our life at the personal, urban, and global scale, which is involving more and more people into an integration of physical, social, and mental space, called cyberspace. The process of producing numerous cyber things and developing cybermatic applications is progressively accelerating the requirements of cyber-infrastructure support, promising technology innovation, and smart platform development. Practical algorithms and mechanisms regarding to high performance computing and parallelism should be explored to deal with the new phenomena, behaviors, and practices in the highly distributed Cyber-Physical systems across the cyber-physical-social-mental conjugation. A number of challenge issues include: How to develop the foundational architecture and platform to support the efficient and scalable processing of hybrid data set? How to figure out the parallel optimization methods for the distributed control and real-time interaction issues? How to handle the security and privacy, scalability and reliability, efficiency and energy issues in the cyber-enabled applications, and etc.
