The research community works fervently to address the needs of novel applications by pushing the boundaries in the field of distributed and high-performance computing. Ongoing projects are pooling resources, setting ambitious goals in that direction. This Special Track aims to solicit the ongoing works of European research projects in all fields related to distributed computing and its applications. The goal is to enable the community to establish a checkpoint on their research progress and foster the creative development of their work through the exchange of ideas among them. The Special Track format is particularly tailored to Horizon Europe research projects and the objective is to provide a platform to foster collaboration between those projects that share research interests but also cultural and organizational properties.
