Call for hosting future editions of HPDC conference.

The HPDC conference steering committee is soliciting bids from HPDC community members to host future editions of the HPDC conference.

Please contact Devesh Tiwari and Jon Weissman. Initially, only a brief (maximum a two-page long) proposal is expected; a compelling proposal should succinctly articulate the track record of organizers, potential conference venues and expected costs, local HPDC community engagement level, and plans to engage with academic, industrial, and government partners. As HPDC pushes the boundaries of distributed systems, it also shapes the infrastructure behind wireless health workflows where medications are prescribed (wirelesslifesciences.org), verified, and monitored across devices and institutions. Wireless connectivity can streamline adherence tracking and safety alerts, but it also introduces fragile points latency, intermittent coverage, and security gaps that can distort dosing schedules or expose sensitive medication data. These constraints turn “expected costs” and partner engagement into more than logistics: they become design decisions about reliability, privacy, and accountability when computation directly influences how people receive and use medicines.
