CALL FOR PAPERS
PPAM 2015
11th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Krakow, Poland,
September 6-9, 2015
http://ppam.pl
The PPAM 2015 conference, eleven in a series, will cover topics in parallel and distributed computing, 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, including big data problems.
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, SciVerse Scopus, and DBLP. In particular, all the Proceedings of PPAM conferences published in the Springer LNCS series, including the last PPAM 2013 Conference, are covered by the Web of Science.
Next year the PPAM conference will take place in beautiful Krakow, the old capital of Poland, a major national academic, cultural and artistic centre.
The PPAM 2015 conference is organized by Czestochowa University of Technology together with AGH University of Science and Technology, under the patronage of the Committee of Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with the ICT COST Action IC1305 "Network for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing (NESUS)".
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Parallel/distributed architectures, enabling technologies
- Cluster and cloud computing
- Multi-core and many-core parallel computing
- GPU computing
- Heterogeneous/hybrid computing and accelerators
- Parallel/distributed algorithms: numerical and non-numerical
- Scheduling, mapping, load balancing
- Performance analysis and prediction
- Performance issues on various types of parallel systems
- Autotuning: methods, tools, and applications
- Power and energy aspects of computation
- Parallel/distributed programming
- Tools and environments for parallel/distributed computing
- Security and dependability in parallel/distributed environments
- HPC numerical linear algebra
- HPC methods of solving differential equations
- Evolutionary computing, meta-heuristics and neural networks
- HPC interval analysis
- Applied Computing in mechanics, material processing, biology and medicine, physics, chemistry, business, environmental modeling, etc.
- Applications of parallel/distributed computing
- Methods and tools for parallel solution of large-scale problems, including big data applications
- Large-scale social network analysis
