This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing, ICA3PP 2022, which was held in October 2022. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The 33 full papers and 10 short papers, presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. The papers cover many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Collaborative Computing: Networking, Applications, and Worksharing, CollaborateCom 2019, held in London, UK, in August 2019. The 40 full papers, 8 short papers and 6 workshop presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 121 submissions. The papers reflect the conference sessions as follows: cloud, IoT and edge computing, collaborative IoT services and applications, artificial intelligence, software development, teleportation protocol and entanglement swapping, network based on the neural network, scheme based on blockchain and zero-knowledge proof in vehicle networking, software development.

Over recent years, wireless communication systems have been experiencing a dramatic and continuous growth in the number of subscribers, thus placing extra demands on system capacity. At the same time, keeping Quality of Service (QoS) at an acceptable level is a critical concern and a challenge to the wireless network designer. In this sense, performance analysis must be the first step in designing or improving a network. A good modelling and analysis of the wireless cellular networks will lead to a high level of QoS. In this book, different analytical models of various handoff schemes and resource re-allocation in homogeneous and heterogeneous wireless cellular networks are developed and investigated. The sustained increase in users and the request for advanced services are some of the key motivations for considering the designing of Hierarchical Cellular Networks (HCN). In HCN, calls blocked in a microcell flow over to an overlay macrocell. Microcells can be replaced by WLANs as this can provide high bandwidth and its users have limited mobility features. Efficient sharing of resources between wireless cellular networks and WLANs will improve the capacity as well as QoS metrics.

In this book, the authors review important developments and discuss new strategies for the performance evaluation of parallel, distributed and emergent systems. The purpose is to make analytical, simulation and testbed-based modelling and evaluation tools and methodology possible and understandable to a wider audience and to report the state-of-the-art innovative tools and techniques for system performance evaluation. Consequently, this book can serve as a valuable source of reference and indispensable reading for researchers, educators, engineers, graduate students, and practitioners in the field of design and analysis of such systems.
