39th IEEE International Parallel &
Distributed Processing Symposium
June 3-7, 2025
Politecnico di Milano
Milan, Italy
Report on IPDPS 2025
IPDPS 2025 was held in the Italian city of Milan on the campus of Politecnico di Milano, the largest technical university in Italy and one of the oldest, and the conference banquet was held at another local landmark, the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci. Along with the three keynote speakers listed below, the main conference included the 105 contributed papers selected for presentation in 33 technical sessions and 21 papers presented as posters. Also, during the main conference, PhD students selected to present their research work in a poster, participated in the lunch-time mentoring program. In 2025, we brought back tutorials, scheduled two full days of 20 workshops back-to-back, and created a bridge to the to the main conference through a dedicated panel.
