This book presents the proceedings of the Virtual International Conference on Advances in Parallel Computing Technologies and Applications (ICAPTA 2022), held on the 27th and 28th of January 2022 in Bangalore, India, at T. John Institute of Technology, jointly with KAS Innovative India.

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for sharing knowledge about various aspects of parallel computing in communications systems and networking, including cloud and virtualisation solutions, management technologies and vertical application areas. The recent developments in parallel computing for various fields of application are used to provide solutions to handling the huge volume of data involved in a faster manner. These newer, innovative ideas are well thought-out, with adequate technical support in computer communication to enhance the decisions with regard to intellectual aspects. The conference also provides a premier platform for scientists, researchers, practitioners and academicians to present and discuss their most recent innovations, trends and concerns, as well as the practical challenges encountered in this field.

ICAPTA 2022, received more than 300 submissions, from which 91 full length papers were accepted based on the reviews and comments of subject experts. The topics include parallel computing in communication, machine learning intelligence for parallel computing and parallel computing for software services in theoretical and practical aspects. The main programme of the two-day conference included a principal guest address, two invited talks, three keynote talks and seven technical sessions for paper presentations.

We hope that all participants will take the opportunity not only to exchange their knowledge, experiences and ideas, but also to make useful contacts for their ongoing research in new directions.
