Wikipedia:WikiProject Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems

Welcome to WikiProject Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems. This is an Academic WikiProject coordinated by Remo Suppi, professor of the module [Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems] at the School of Engineering, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The first edition of this WikiProject will be deployed in the academic year 2017-2018 and the objective is to contribute, with the students of the module, to different subjects related to this area. This WikiProject is open project and if you would like to help, please add yourself as project assistant in the project, inquire on the talk page, and see the to-do list or new tasks (collaborations), below.

Goals
We consider that an academic environment is the best place to generate and to share knowledge. In this sense, we propose this WikiProject as challenge to the students to contribute to Wikipedia. We must consider that ALL the articles of Wikipedia are written by volunteers who have dedicated part of their time to share knowledge, improve some text or other activities to keep this encyclopaedia updated and with high quality content. The idea of this project is that as students, in the indicated topics, create or improve the contents that already exist and thus all the readers will be able to benefit from it. In particular, you can see that some articles related to the topics that we will discuss during the module can be improved and, therefore, your contribution will be more relevant.

Scope
You must write an article following the rules of Wikipedia, which you will find summarized in the next section. Keep in mind the following points that can help you to do the job better (more info Contributing to Wikipedia, 10 simple rules for editing Wikipedia)

We hope you enjoy your experience in Wikipedia and that when you finish the module, continue helping us with other topics of your interest!
 * 1) Create a user account here.
 * 2) Return to the WikiProject Page
 * 3) Choose an item from the list, press Edit source and register your username in the column of the article that you have chosen (with this mark acquire the responsibility to create or improve this article).
 * 4) Find reliable documentation (on paper or online) about the subject (please be careful whit the license of this content) and thinks how to structure the document clearly. You can inspire reading similar articles.
 * 5) Create or modify an article is time-consuming and takes a lot of work. Please, invest all the necessary time to make a high quality contribution..
 * 6) Communicate with other students or collaborators through the discussion pages and ask for help when you need it!
 * 7) Check the text to verify content and syntax (remember that thousands of people will read it!)

Guidelines
The objective is to create or extend one of the articles indicated on the list (below). Remember that you need to discuss the selected article in the classroom (only module students) and to edit is necessary the login first (so your contributions will be associated with your username and we can evaluate it more easily or other Wikipedians may contact you if they need to make suggestions). Check the following list to verify if your contribution meets minimum quality conditions (please, see other examples of similar pages):

My article ....
 * The article begins with a clear definition of the subject (title) with bold font.
 * Please, check that language style is formal (encyclopaedic style, third person, non-colloquial language ...).
 * Consider that the reader may not have prior knowledge of the subject and it is necessary to provide sufficient information.
 * It is very important the organization of the article that must have: sections, images, internal links (to expand the concepts indicated), categories and references.

If you verify all these items the draft (probably) meets the standards of a good article.
