The submission deadline is November 10, 2020. All submissions are electronic via Springer’s Online Conference Service (OCS), and the submission server is now available at https://ocs.springer.com/ocs/home/PDCAT-PAAP2020

The conference proceedings will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) with Springer. Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Papers must be written in English without exceeding 12 pages in length. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form, through which the copyright for their paper is transferred to Springer.

Each paper will be reviewed by at least 3 prominent researchers who are conversant in parallel computing and information security. Extended versions of selected papers will be recommended to special issues of some SCI-indexed journals. The confirmed journals include Tsinghua Science and Technology, Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing and IEEE Access. Some other SCI-indexed journals will be arranged later. The invited papers will go through the normal reviewing process.
