Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your latest research in the area of parallel and distributed computing models to this Special Issue, “Fault-Tolerant Distributed Computing”. Almost every model of computation nowadays is distributed, ranging from multicore CPUs prevalent in everyday desktops/laptops/Internet of Things (IoTs) to the very Internet itself. Moreover, concurrency phenomena manifest in domains like quantum computing, neuromorphic computing and blockchain smart contracts. Given the richness and diversity of emerging computational trends, new distributed models, practical notions of fault tolerance and commensurate algorithms are required for enforcing safety, security and other critical system properties catering to domain-specific hardware and application trends. Topics for this Special Issue include new or under-studied models of fault tolerance (beyond crash/byzantine faults), algorithms, complexity bounds and fundamental questions about the safety, liveness and verification challenges in emerging concurrent/distributed settings.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
