The PPAM 2022 conference, the fourteenth 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, including artificial intelligence and machine learning problems. A special attention is expected to be given to the future of computing beyond Moore's Law.

PPAM is a biennial conference started in 1994, with the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences series. The PPAM Proceedings are indexed in main databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and DBLP.

Next year the PPAM conference will take place in Gdansk, the thousand-year-old city on the Baltic coast, the hometown of Hevelius, Fahrenheit, Schopenhauer, Grass, and Walesa.

The PPAM 2022 conference is organized by the Department of Computer Science of the Czestochowa University of Technology together with the Gdansk University of Technology, under the patronage of the Committee of Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
