Due to multiple requests, the PPAM 2024 paper submission deadline is extended
to May 17, 2024. For workshops and minisymposia the deadline is extended as well.
The PPAM 2024 conference, the fifteenth 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 that facilitate efficient and convenient utilization
of modern parallel and distributed computing architectures, as well as
on large-scale applications. Special attention is expected to be given
to the future of computing beyond Moore’s Law and AI/ML approaches in
high performance computing.
PPAM is a biennial conference started in 1994, with the proceedings
published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences series.
Next year, the PPAM conference will take place in Ostrava, a city in the
northeast of the Czech Republic and the capital of the Moravian-Silesian
Region. PPAM 2024 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.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
– Parallel/distributed architectures, enabling technologies
– Quantum computing and communication
– Neuromorphic computing
– Computing beyond Moore’s Law
– Cluster, cloud, edge 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-parallelization: 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
– Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and HPC
– 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 artificial intelligence and machine learning applications

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Original papers are invited for the conference. Authors should submit
full papers using the EasyChair system. Regular papers are not to
exceed 14 pages (LNCS style). Articles will be refereed and accepted
based on their scientific merit and relevance to the conference topics.
Abstracts of accepted papers will be available as a brochure during
the conference. Only papers presented at PPAM 2024 will be included in
the proceedings, which are planned to be published after the conference
by Springer in the LNCS series.
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 Future Generation Computer Systems; Int. Journal of High
Performance Computing Applications; Concurrency and Computation:
Practice and Experience.
