PPAM 2013 - 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS

PPAM 2013
10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Warsaw, Poland,
September 8-11, 2013
http://ppam.pl
The PPAM 2013 conference, tenth 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.
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 jubilee PPAM conference will take place in Warsaw, the capital and largest city of Poland, a major international tourist destination and an important economic hub in Central Europe, known as the "phoenix city" because it has survived many wars throughout its history.
TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED) TO:
Parallel/distributed architectures, enabling technologies
Cloud computing
Multi-core and many-core parallel computing

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, 2013. 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 2013 will be included into the proceedings, which is planned to be published after the conference by Springer in the LNCS series. Full camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be required by November 15, 2013.
JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES
The authors of the best papers selected by the Program Committee will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to special issues of the following journals: Scientific Programming (IOS Press), and Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (John Wiley & Sons Ltd.).
