Welcome to PDCAT 2026

The 27th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT 2026) will be held in Chang sha, China. Since its inception in Hong Kong in 2000, PDCAT has established itself as a premier international forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share the latest advances, research results, innovative ideas, developments, and applications in the fields of parallel and distributed computing. Over the past 25 years, PDCAT has been successfully hosted in numerous cities across Asia-Oceania, including locations in Japan, China, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and Korea. PDCAT 2026 continues this tradition, providing an engaging platform for fostering collaboration, disseminating cutting-edge research, and exploring emerging trends in parallel and distributed computing and their applications across diverse domains. We warmly welcome researchers and professionals worldwide to join us in Changsha for PDCAT 2026.

We look forward to your valuable contribution and active participation. All accepted and presented papers will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Selected papers presented at the conference will be invited for extended publication in special issues of SCI-indexed journals. Here is a tentative list of journals:

• Tsinghua Science and Technology (Impact Factor: 5.2)
• Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences (Impact Factor: 3.9)
• CCF Transactions on High Performance Computing (Impact Factor: 1.3)
