***CALL FOR PAPERS***
---------------
Scalability is one of the key evaluation criteria of computing systems. High scalability represents a kind of elasticity, which can guarantee high throughput, small delay, and high performance. Scalable computing and communications are particularly crucial in fields such as artificial intelligence, big data processing, and scientific computing, where large-scale data processing or complex computational tasks are common.

The 26th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications (ScalCom 2026) will include a highly selective program of technical papers, panel discussions and keynote speeches. We welcome high-quality papers that describe original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in scalable communication & networks.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
---------------

Parallel and Distributed Programming Models and Tools
Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Management
Large-Scale Heterogeneous Computing Systems
Scalable Cloud, Edge, and Serverless Architectures
Distributed Data Management Systems
High-Performance and Scalable Networking
