• In-Memory and near-data computing.
• Network and interconnect architectures.
• Storage systems in novel big data architectures.

Parallel and distributed software environments and tools

• Programming models and compilation for existing and emerging platforms.
• Dataflow programming models, frameworks, languages and environments for data-enabled platforms.
• Virtualization of machines, networks, and storage.
• I/O, file systems, and data management.
• Resource management, scheduling, and load balancing.

Paper submission

NPC 2022 Manuscripts should be submitted via EasyChair at the following link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=npc2022. Full papers and short papers must represent mature and original work, and not be published or submitted for publication in other forums. Reviewing will be double-blind; therefore, please do not include any author names on any submitted documents except in the space provided on the submission form. We will publish top papers from NPC 2022 in a special issue of the International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP, SCI indexed). The proceedings will be published as part of Springer LNCS (EI, Scopus): http://www.springer.com/lncs.
