Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of computing technologies, driven by the exponential growth of data-intensive applications, artificial intelligence, IoT, and cloud-edge ecosystems, has positioned parallel and distributed computing systems as critical enablers of modern computational efficiency and scalability. This Special Issue seeks to explore and highlight the latest advances and emerging challenges in parallel and distributed computing systems. It aims to address challenges in architecture design, algorithm optimization, resource management, fault tolerance, energy efficiency, and security while fostering discussions on novel applications in areas such as machine learning, edge computing, blockchain, and quantum-inspired distributed systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, multi-core and many-core processors, high-performance computing, cloud and edge computing, distributed algorithms, scalability, energy-efficient solutions, and heterogeneous architectures. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, comprehensive review papers, and case studies that address both fundamental principles and real-world implementations.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
