                ======================================================

ISSAC is the yearly premier international symposium in Symbolic and
Algebraic Computation. It provides an opportunity to learn of new
developments and to present original research results in all areas of
symbolic mathematical computation. In parallel to peer reviewed research
papers, ISSAC organizes sessions for Posters and Software Exhibitions.


ISSAC 2006 will be held from July 9 to 12 in Genova, Italy. 

The following announcements are also posted on the ISSAC 2006 web site at
http://issac2006.dima.unige.it/

  ================== 

The poster sessions are an ideal venue for presenting recent research
results or ongoing research projects that might not yet be complete, but
whose preliminary results are already interesting nonetheless. Posters on
all conference topics (see the call for papers at
http://issac2006.dima.unige.it/) are welcome. Posters describing computer
algebra systems and applications are also especially welcome.

   Call for Software Exhibitions 
  ===============================

This year ISSAC organizes sessions to exhibit software packages produced
by academic developers. These sessions are intended to promote software
development activities in the areas of symbolic mathematical computation.
A software exhibitions session consists of an illustration of a piece of
software by using a poster display and/or a laptop computer display. 

Important Dates

    - Submission deadline: 15, May 2006 (Midnight [24:00 EST]) 
    - Notification of acceptance will be made by 5, June 2006.

Submission Instructions

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 2 pages
(A4 or letter) of their software presentation. PDF and PS format are
preferred. This abstract must include a valid link for downloading the
software packages and the documentations. 

Submission is online at http://www.easychair.org/ISSAC06PosterDemo/

Recommendations

The aims of your exhibition is to convince the attendees to use your
software. In particular you should make clear the following aspects: 

    - What your software does,
    - Its power and limitations,
    - Any possible advantages or drawbacks over similar packages.

Exhibitors are encouraged to visit the sites about posters preparation
listed in the Call for Posters above.
