The 10th Workshop on Advances in Parallel and Distributed Computational Models (APDCM) – held in conjunction with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) on 14 April 2008, at Hyatt Regency Hotel, Miami, FL, USA – aimed to provide a timely forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques and research in the field of the parallel and distributed computational models.
The APDCM workshop has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers worldwide. The program committee has encouraged the authors of eighteen accepted papers to submit a full-version of their manuscripts to the International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems (IJPEDS) after the workshop. After a thorough reviewing process, with extensive discussions, five articles on various topics, have been selected for publication on the IJPEDS special issue on APDCM.
On behalf of the APDCM workshop, we would like to express our appreciation for the large efforts of the program committee members who reviewed papers submitted to the special issue. Likewise, we thank all the authors for submitting their excellent manuscripts to this special issue. We also express our sincere thanks to the editorial board of the International Journal of Foundation of Computer Science, in particular, to the Editor-in-chief Professor Ivan Stojmenovic. This special issue would not have been possible without his support.
