IEEE ISPA 2026 is an international forum for original research on parallel, distributed, edge, cloud and large-scale computing systems. The conference welcomes academia and industrial researchers to share innovations on multi-core, heterogeneous clusters, P2P networks, AI computing architecture, blockchain security, big data analytics and pervasive services. ISPA series has been held annually since 2003 across Asia, Europe, Australia and North America. The conference includes oral presentations, poster sessions, tutorials, invited keynote speeches and special sessions. All accepted papers will be indexed by IEEE Xplore.

Submission Guidelines
