[cmath] Second call for papers for International Congress of Mathematical Software (ICMS2006---developer's meeting)

[David Sevilla]

This is the second call for papers of Second International Congress of
Mathematical Software (ICMS2006---developer's meeting) as a satellite
meeting of ICM 2006.

Place: Castro-Urdiales, Spain
Date:  September 1--3, 2006

http://www.icms2006.unican.es. (Backup cite: http://www.mathsoftware.org).


This conference is jointly organized by the Dept. of Mathematics,
Statistics and Computation and the Dept. of Applied Mathematics and
Computational Sciences of the University of Cantabria, Spain. It will
be held in September 1-3 2006 at La Residencia, Castro Urdiales
(Spain) as a satelite meeting of ICM 2006. We will welcome developers
of mathematical software systems as well as researchers in algorithms
and mathematicians who are interested in the developement of
mathematical software systems.

This is an almost unique chance to meet people in different
disciplines in mathematics and computer science and exchange ideas on
developements on mathematical software systems. Although the
mathematical software sessions of the main ICM program intend to
attract general audiences, the main audience of this satellite meeting
is assumed to be developers of mathematical software systems.   We
welcome you to apply for the both events.

This is the second edition of this conference and follows up the first
edition held in Beijing (China), August 17-19 2002. The proceedings of
that conference have been published by World Scientific. In addition,
some papers were selected for a Special Issue of the Journal of
Symbolic Computation, Vol. 38, Number 4, October 2004.

AIM AND SCOPE

Mathematics has a wide variety of branches. Despite this, we in the
International Conference of Mathematical Software believe that
mathematics is fundamentally just one thing. Algebra, geometry and
analysis are examples of separate specialities within mathematics, and
of course we consider each of them valuable and hence study them. But
we take the view that any branch of mathematics can borrow freely from
these specialities. It is often worth while delving into them for
ideas that might lead to fundamental new discoveries. The same can be
said of mathematical software systems: the study of mathematical
software is a coherent whole. We believe that the appearance of
mathematical software is one of the most
important events in mathematics. Mathematical software systems are
used to construct examples, to prove theorems, and to find new
mathematical phenomena. Conversely, mathematical research often
motivates developments of new algorithms and new systems.

Beyond mathematics, mathematical software systems are becoming
indispensable tools in many branches of science and technology. The
development of mathematical software systems relies on the cooperation
of mathematicians, algorithm designers, programmers, and the feedback
from users. The main audiences of this conference are mathematical
software developers and
programming mathematicians, but we also intend to provide an
opportunity to discuss these topics with mathematicians and users from
application areas. Topics include but are not limited to:

1. Software engineering problems for mathematical software.
2. Mathematics and media including user interfaces and integration of
documents and software systems.
3. Mathematics related to mathematical software (experiments,
algorithms). Scientific computing.
4. High performance computing.
5. Applications of mathematical software.
