HOW TO GET TO BIALYSTOK?

For foreign participants, the most convenient way to get to Białystok are direct buses between the Warsaw Fryderyk Chopin Airport and Białystok bus terminal (the duration of travel is from 2.30h to 3h). Buses are rather frequent, and practically starts from Warsaw at 6:15 and finish at 22:15. The bus terminal is located next to the train station - please follow the purple line (see the map...). The timetable is available at the following link: https://www.busy-krk.pl/en/chopin-airport-bialystok/.
Tickets could be purchased online on the carriers websites PlusBus and ŻakExpress.
There are frequent direct trains from Warsaw to Bialystok. It is best to use the on-line rail route planner (leaving 'Warszawa Centralna' or 'Warszawa Lot. Chopina' arriving 'Bialystok').
The simplest way to get to conference hotels from Bialystok Railway Station or Bialystok Bus Station is to take TAXI, which is not expensive (up to 5 Euro).
Below is the list of recommended carriers (taxis are marked with phone numbers):
- Comfort Taxi, +48 800 111 111, +48 85 744 44 44
- Taxi Sezam +48 85 661 61 61, +48 85 196 28
- Jaga Taxi, +48 85 711 11 11, +48 85 196 61
- Moja Taxi, +48 733 401 401

PPAM 2019
13th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS

Bialystok, Poland, September 8-11, 2019 http://ppam.pl

The PPAM 2019 conference, thirteenth 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 artificial intelligence and machine learning 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, Scopus, and DBLP. In particular, all the Proceedings of PPAM conferences published in the Springer LNCS series, including the last PPAM 2017 Conference, are covered by the Web of Science (Clarivate).

In 2019 the PPAM conference will take place in Bialystok, the largest city in northeastern Poland, academic and cultural centre, located close to the world-famous Bialowieza Forest.

The PPAM 2019 conference is organized by the Department of Computer and Information Science of the Czestochowa University of Technology together with the Bialystok University of Technology, under the patronage of the Committee of Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, in technical cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Computational Intelligence Society.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Parallel/distributed architectures, enabling technologies
Cluster, cloud and fog 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
Auto-tuning and auto-parallelisation: 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

WORKSHOPS, MINISYMPOSIA, SPECIAL SESSIONS

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Original papers are invited for the conference. Authors should submit full papers (draft version, PDF file, together with abstract) using the online submission system before April 21 May 6. 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 form of a brochure. Only papers presented at PPAM 2019 will be included into the proceedings, which will be published after the conference by Springer in the LNCS series. Full camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be required by November 2, 2019.

To submit a paper, please login to EasyChair.

SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS

The submission of abstracts before the abstract deadline also occurs via EasyChair. The abstract is entered in a text field of the submission form. It should essentially be the abstract included in the LNCS-formatted paper. According to the LNCS guidelines, the abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and should contain at least 70 and at most 150 words.

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES

Like the previous PPAM editions, the authors of the best papers selected by the Program Committee will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to special issues of journals with Impact Factor such as: Int. Journal of High Performance Computing Applications; Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing; Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, and The Journal of Supercomputing.
