ISSAC 2012 - International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation

International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
Grenoble, France, July 22-25, 2012
http://www.issac-conference.org/2012/

The International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
(ISSAC) is the premier conference for research in symbolic computation
and computer algebra. ISSAC 2012 is the 37th meeting in the series,
started in 1966 and held annually since 1981, in North America, Europe
and Asia. The conference presents a range of invited speakers,
tutorials, poster sessions, software demonstrations and vendor
exhibits with a centerpiece of contributed research papers.
A satellite MaGiX workshop on language and graphical interface design
for computer algebra systems will be organized after the conference,
on July 26-27.
A second satellite workshop on Categorical Computer Science (CaCoS)
will also take place after the conference, on July 26.

Submission Instructions

ISSAC 2012 invites the submission of original research contributions
to be considered for publication and presentation at the conference.
Papers should not duplicate work published or submitted for
consideration elsewhere prior or in parallel to the ISSAC submission.
Papers must be in English and shall be reviewed by the Program
Committee and external referees. Submissions
cannot exceed 8 pages in the ACM sig-alternate.cls style
(see http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-t...)
or the acmconf style if you are using TeXmacs; if necessary,
they can have an appendix that may be read by the reviewers
and PC members, but which is not part of the Proceedings paper.
Papers labeled "extended abstracts" will not be accepted. Submission is
exclusively via EasyChair. At least one author of each accepted paper
must register for the conference to present the paper.
Conference Topics

All areas of computer algebra and symbolic computation are of
interest. These include, but are not limited to:
Algorithmic aspects: Exact and symbolic linear, polynomial and
differential algebra. Symbolic-numeric, homotopy, and series methods.
Computational geometry, group theory, number theory, quantifier
elimination and logic. Summation, recurrence equations, integration,
ODE & PDE. Theoretical and practical aspects, including algebraic
complexity, and techniques for important special cases.
Software aspects: Design of packages and systems, data representation.
Parallel and distributed algebraic computing, considerations for
modern hardware. User-interface issues, and use with systems for,
e.g., digital libraries, courseware, simulation and optimization,
automated theorem-proving, computer-aided design, and automatic
differentiation.
Application aspects: Applications that stretch the current limits of
computer algebra, use it in new ways, or apply it in situations with
broad impact, in particular to the natural sciences, life sciences,
engineering, economics and finance, and education.
