WELCOME

Russian Academy of Sciences, High-Performance Computing Consortium of Russian Universities, Moscow State University, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, and South Ural State University are jointly organizing the 16th International Scientific Conference on Parallel Computational Technologies (PCT’2022) to be held in Dubna, Russia, March 29–31, 2022.

The main purpose of the PCT’2022 conference is to provide an opportunity to report and discuss the results achieved by leading research groups in solving practical issues using supercomputer and neural network technologies.

The scope of the conference covers all aspects of the application of cloud, supercomputer and neural network technologies in science and technology such as applications, hardware and software, specific languages and packages.

The 36th edition of Top50 of the CIS's most powerful computers will be announced on the first day of the conference.

On working days of the conference, a supercomputer exhibition will be organized, where leading manufacturers of hardware and software present their latest products in the field of high performance computing.

LANGUAGE The official languages of the Conference are Russian and English.

SCOPE The scope of the conference includes, but not limited to, the following topics: * Parallel and distributed computing technologies * Cloud computing * Prospective multiprocessor architectures * Parallel and distributed database systems * High performance data mining * Artificial neural networks and deep learning * Management, administration, monitoring and testing of multiprocessor systems * Computational Mathematics * Computational Physics * Computational Chemistry * Gas hydrodynamics and heat transfer * High nonlinear and rapid processes in mechanics * Bioinformatics and medicine * Nanotechnology * Geoinformatics * Cryptography * Image processing and visualization * Computer algebra * Supercomputer education.

CALL FOR PAPERS PCT’2022 admits papers presenting original contribution that have not been previously published and are not being submitted to another conference or journal.

There are three categories of submissions: * Full paper describes the results of completed scientific research (12 to 15 pages in the LNCS one-column page format). * Short paper reports preliminary results of uncompleted scientific research (up to 12 pages in the LNCS one-column page format). * Abstract of the poster contains information about plans and initial results of recently started scientific research (one standard A4 page).

Papers may be prepared in LaTeX or MS Word according to the LNCS one-column page format (see guidelines at the conference website http://agora.guru.ru/pavt2022/, "For Authors" section). Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pct2022 by December 15, 2021.

Each paper will be reviewed by three Program Committee members and/or invited experts to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference.

At least one author of the accepted paper must attend the conference and present the paper.

PROCEEDINGS All accepted full papers will be published in Springer’s Communications in Computer and Information Science series (https://link.springer.com/conference/pct, indexed in Web of Science and Scopus), final approval pending. All accepted short papers and posters will be published electronically and indexed in Russian Science Index. The best short papers in English will be recommended for publication in Supercomputing Frontiers and Innovations (http://superfri.org, indexed in Scopus, Q2). The best short papers in Russian will be published (after further revision) in Computational Mathematics and Software Engineering series of the Bulletin of the South Ural State University (http://vestnikvmi.susu.ru, indexed in Russian Science Citation Index on the Web of Science platform).
