Guest Editorial: Special Section: Advances in Distributed Computing and Data Analysis

Abstract

The Special Section on Advances in Distributed Computing and Data Analysis was inspired by the conference held in 2016, the 17th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies. According to the review results during conference preparation, ten papers related to the scope of this section were selected for possible inclusion. After two rounds of rigorous review process, we finally accepted six papers where each one has over 40% extension to their conference version. These papers present interesting algorithms and promising techniques in the field of Distributed Computing and Data Analysis.
