The PPAM 2015 conference, eleventh 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. Next year the PPAM conference will take place in beautiful
Krakow, the old capital of Poland, a major national academic, cultural
and artistic centre.
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
