The focus of PPAM 2009 was on models, algorithms, and software tools which facilitate e?cient and convenient utilization of modern parallel and distributed computing architectures, as well as on large-scale applications. Thismeeting gatheredmorethan210participantsfrom 32countries.A strict refereeing process resulted in the acceptance of 129 contributed presentations, while approximately46% of the submissionswere rejected. Regular tracksof the conference covered such important ?elds of parallel/distributed/grid computing and applied mathematics as: - Parallel/distributed architectures and mobile computing - Numerical algorithms and parallel numerics - Parallel and distributed non-numerical algorithms - Tools and environments for parallel/distributed/grid computing - Applications of parallel/distributed computing - Applied mathematics and neural networks Plenary and Invited Speakers The plenary and invited talks were presented by: - Srinivas Aluru from the Iowa State University (USA) - Dominik Behr from AMD (USA) - Ewa Deelman from the University of Southern California (USA) - Jack Dongarra from the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics, PPAM 2005. The book presents 135 papers organized in topical sections on parallel and distributed architectures, parallel and distributed non-numerical algorithms, performance analysis, prediction and optimization, grid programming, tools and environments for clusters and grids, applications of parallel/distributed/grid computing, evolutionary computing with applications, parallel data mining, parallel numerics, and mathematical and computing methods.

It is our pleasure to provide you with the volume containing the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathe- tics, which was held in Cz, estochowa, a Polish city famous for its Jasna Gora Monastery, on September 7-10, 2003. The ?rst PPAM conference was held in 1994 and was organized by the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Cz, estochowa University of Technology in its hometown. The main idea behind the event was to provide a forum for researchers involved in applied and computational mathematics and parallel computing to exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere. Conference organizers hoped that this arrangement would result in cross-pollination and lead to successful research collaborations. In - dition, they hoped that the initially mostly Polish conference would grow into an international event. The fact that these assumptions were correct was proven by the growth of the event. While the ?rst conference consisted of 41 presen- tions, the conference reached 150 participants in Na l, ecz ow in 2001. In this way the PPAM conference has become one of the premiere Polish conferences, and de?nitely the most important one in the area of parallel/distributed computing andappliedmathematics. This year's meeting gathered almost 200 participants from 32 countries. A strict refereeing process resulted in the acceptance of approximately 150 cont- buted presentations, while the rejection rate was approximately 33%."

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics, PPAM 2002, held in Naleczow, Poland, in September 2001.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the workshops held at the 26th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Euro-Par 2020, which took place in Warsaw, Poland, in August 2020. The workshops were held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic.The 27 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions.
