PPAM 2007
SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS

The PPAM 2007 conference, seventh 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 grid computing, and large-scale applications, as well as on software tools which facilitate efficient and convenient utilization of modern computing architectures.

PPAM is a biennial conference started in 1994, with the proceedings published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences. Next year the PPAM conference will take place in Gdansk, the thousand-year old city on the Baltic coast, the hometown of Hevelius, Fahrenheit, Schopenhauer, Grass and Walesa. One of social events will be in Malbork - the largest medieval brick castle in Europe.

Organized in-cooperation with the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics - SIAM.

Original papers are invited for the conference. Authors should submit full papers (draft version, PDF file, together with abstract in ASCII format) to the conference office before April 30, 2007. Regular papers are not to exceed 10 pages (LNCS style). Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference topics. Abstracts of accepted papers will be available during the conference in the form of a brochure. Only papers presented at PPAM 2007 will be included in the proceedings, which once again will be published after the conference by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Full camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be required by October 15, 2007.
