Special Issue on Quantum Machine Learning: Algorithms, Machine Learning Middleware, and Performance Evaluation Submission Date: 2027-01-15 Quantum Machine Learning (QML) stands at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, promising to accelerate data-driven discovery through new computational paradigms. The rise of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices has made it possible to experiment with hybrid quantum–classical workflows that couple quantum subroutines with large-scale classical computing resources. These developments have created new challenges across the quantum computing system stack—from algorithm design and compilation to performance evaluation, middleware integration, and distributed execution. This JPDC Special Issue invites contributions that explore system-level innovations enabling scalable and efficient Quantum Machine Learning. We seek high-quality research that bridges theory and practice—linking quantum algorithms with parallel, distributed, and hybrid infrastructures that can harness near-term and future quantum processors.

Special Issue on Federated and Distributed AI Across the Edge–Cloud Continuum Submission Date: 2027-01-30 This special issue seeks contributions that address these emerging challenges through novel models, architectures, abstractions, and empirical evaluations. Its goal is to bridge the gap between centralized HPC systems and adaptive distributed infrastructures, and between theoretical models of consistency and coordination and their practical implementations at scale. By embracing the convergence of parallel and distributed computing, federated learning, and edge-cloud architectures, this issue invites original research that advances scalable, resilient, and context-aware computing across the full compute continuum. The special issue builds upon research presented at the upcoming 16th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics (PPAM 2026). While submissions that extend regular or keynote presentations from the conference are particularly encouraged, with the requirement of at least 30% new content beyond the material presented at PPAM, the call is also open to external, general contributions not affiliated with the conference. Guest editors: Dr. Anna Kobusińska, Poznań University of Technology, Poland Prof. Roman Wyrzykowski, Czestochowa University of Technology, Poland Prof. Ewa Deelman, University of Southern California, USA Prof. Maciej Drozdowski, Poznań University of Technology, Poland Special issue information: Topics of Interest (not limited to): Parallel and distributed algorithms for edge-to-cloud computing Federated learning: algorithms, convergence, and communication efficiency across heterogeneous nodes Distributed AI training and inference across edge, fog, and cloud platforms Privacy-preserving and secure federated learning in multi-stakeholder environments Consistency models and coordination protocols in heterogeneous edge-cloud environments Task scheduling and resource management across the compute continuum Data replication, synchronization, and mobility-aware protocols Programming models and abstractions for edge-aware distributed systems Fault tolerance, consensus, and adaptive replication strategies Performance modeling and benchmarking of distributed systems at scale Secure and privacy-preserving computing across edge, fog, and cloud layers Applications in smart cities, cyber-physical systems, and digital twins Manuscript submission information: Submissions must present original, unpublished research and must not be under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts will be reviewed according to the editorial standards of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. Papers extending PPAM 2026 contributions should clearly identify the related conference paper and provide a cover letter describing the new material included in the journal version. A substantial extension, such as at least 30% new content beyond the conference version, should be provided. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the JPDC Guide for Authors. Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process in line with JPDC standards. Papers should be submitted through the Submission site for Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing under the article type "VSI: Federated AI in ECC".
