Welcome to the 26th International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing (ICA3PP-2026).

ICA3PP-2026 is the 26th in this series of conferences started in 1995 that are devoted to algorithms and architectures for parallel processing. ICA3PP is a famous event worldwide that covers many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. With the booming computing demands from every aspect of modern society, parallel processing has become increasingly critical and challenging. This conference provides a forum for academics and practitioners from all over the world to exchange ideas on improving the efficiency, performance, reliability, security and interoperability of computing systems and applications.

Following the traditions of previous successful ICA3PP conferences held in Zhengzhou, Macao, Copenhagen, Brisbane, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Hangzhou, Cyprus, Taipei, Busan, Melbourne, Fukuoka, Vietri sul Mare, Dalian, Zhangjiajie, Granada, Helsinki, Guangzhou, New York City, Xiamen and Tianjin, ICA3PP-2026 will be held in Exeter, England, UK. The objective of ICA3PP-2026 is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to advance the theories and technologies in parallel and distributed computing. ICA3PP-2026 will focus on two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing, i.e. architectures, algorithms and networks, and systems and applications. In this year, ICA3PP-2026 will be organized by University of Exeter.

We invite submissions from academia, government and industry that present novel research on all aspects of parallel and distributed computing.
