WELCOME
We are glad to announce the 16th International Conference on Parallel Computing Technologies (PaCT-2021). The Conference is to be held in Kaliningrad, Russia, September 13-18, 2021.
The Conference is jointly organized by the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics (Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia), Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Novosibirsk State University, and Novosibirsk State Technical University.
The proceedings of the previous PaCT conferences are available as volumes of Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (Springer) since 1995: https://link.springer.com/conference/pact
The aim of the PaCT-2021 is to give an overview of new developments, applications, and trends in parallel computing technologies. We sincerely hope that the conference will help our community to deepen understanding of parallel computing technologies by providing a forum for an exchange of views between scientists and specialists from all over the world. We welcome your active participation.
MAIN TOPICS
* All technological aspects of the applications of parallel computer systems
* High level parallel programming languages and systems
* Methods and tools for parallel solution of large-scale problems
* Languages, environments and software tools supporting parallel processing
* Operating systems, scheduling, mapping, load balancing
* General architectural concepts
* Cellular automata
* Performance measurement and analysis tools
* Active knowledge and program construction
* Software for grid and cloud computing
* Scalable computing
* Fragmentation and aggregation of algorithms and programs
* Programs assembling and reuse
* Distributed algorithms
CALL FOR PAPERS
Original papers are solicited for the conference. A full paper (up to 15 pages) should be submitted by March 25, 2021. Instead, an extended abstract (5-7 pages) can be submitted by April 5, 2021. Please, bear in mind that it is more difficult for the Program Committee to decide about your work having just an abstract in hand. All contributions will be reviewed by the international Program Committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 14, 2021. We will require camera-ready full papers by June 4, 2021.
In order to submit a paper or just indicate your interest in the PaCT-2021, please register at the site of the conference http://ssd.sscc.ru/conference/pact2021/ and follow the instructions which you will find there. If you face any difficulties using this site, please contact the Secretary (pact2021@ssd.sscc.ru).
The first page should include (but not be limited to) the following information: a title, authors' full names, affiliation, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses. To gain the better understanding of your abstract, we also request to include the following information: short review of related papers, formulation of the problem, objectives, description of results, main ideas, and list of references.
The organizers expect that the authors of selected papers will come to Kaliningrad and present their work at the Conference. If the authors are not able to come because of COVID-related measures, the paper can be presented with videoconferencing software.
Proposals for workshops and 1/2 and full day tutorials will be considered.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Submissions should be prepared in the style of Springer LNCS series (Microsoft Word, LaTex). Please look at https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
PROCEEDINGS
The Conference Proceedings are planned to be published as a volume of the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series and distributed at the Conference. We plan also to publish selected papers in a special issue of an indexed international journal.
LANGUAGE
The official language of the Conference is English.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Submission of full papers March 25, 2021
