This international journal is directed to researchers, engineers, educators, managers, programmers, and users of computers who have particular interests in parallel processing and/or distributed computing.The Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing publishes original research papers and timely review articles on the theory, design, evaluation, and use of parallel and/or distributed computing systems. The journal also features special issues on these topics; again covering the full range from the design to the use of our targeted systems.Research Areas Include:? Theory of parallel/distributed computing ? Parallel algorithms and their implementation ? Innovative computer architectures ? Shared-memory multiprocessors ? Peer-to-peer systems ? Distributed sensor networks ? Pervasive computing ? Optical computing ? Software tools and environments ? Languages, compilers, and operating systems ? Fault-tolerant computing ? Applications and performance analysis ? Bioinformatics ? Cyber trust and security ? Parallel programming ? Grid computing
