Welcome To TCDP!

Distributed processing serves as one of the key technologies of network-based communication and computing systems. We have witnessed the evolution of distributed computing over the past 40 years as the underlying networking environments kept changing and the application areas kept expanding. We can also foresee the new developments in the field in the coming years when we are facing the new challenges brought by increasing scale and dynamicity of systems, huge amount of data, and higher demand in support of emerging social, economical, and industrial applications.

TCDP Awards

IEEE TCDP resumed the TCDP award for Outstanding Technical Achievement in 2018 and introduced a new award for Outstanding Service. The goal of these highly prestigious awards is to encourage innovative long term contributions to the field of distributed processing.
