PDGC-2014



The Third International Conference on “Parallel, Distributed and Grid Computing (PDGC-2014)” will be organized at Jaypee University of Information Technology, Waknaghat, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India. PDGC-2014 will serve as an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in recent advances in the areas of parallel, distributed and grid computing. It will provide an opportunity to present and exchange advanced scientific and technological information in hardware, software and theoretical foundation in these areas.
The proceedings of PDGC 2014 will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE and fully indexed by IEEE Xplore. 1st best paper, 2nd best paper and 3rd best paper cash award will be given.
