The PPAM 2026 conference, sixteenth in a series, will cover topics in parallel and distributed processing,
including theory and applications, as well as applied mathematics. The focus will be on models, algorithms,
and software tools which facilitate efficient and convenient utilization of modern parallel and distributed
computing architectures, as well as on large-scale applications. A special attention is expected to be given
to the future of computing beyond Moore's Law, and AI/ML approaches in high performance computing.
Next year, the PPAM conference is scheduled to take place in Poznan, the important industrial, academic and
cultural center in the western part of Poland, one of four historical capitals of medieval Poland.
The PPAM 2026 conference is organized by the Department of Computer Science of the Czestochowa University of
Technology together with the Poznan University of Technology, in technical cooperation with Poznań Supercomputing
and Networking Center.
PPAM is a biennial conference started in 1994, with the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences series.
The PPAM Proceedings are indexed in main databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and DBLP.
PPAM 2026 is expected to be an in-person conference with the possibility of remote participation. However, we
strongly encourage in-person participation, as PPAM also has very compelling networking aspects and a social
and cultural program.
