ISSAC 2007: Call for Participation, Posters and Software Exhibitions

International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
July 29 to August 1, 2007
University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada 

The International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC) 
is the premier annual conference to present and discuss new developments 
and original research results in all areas of symbolic mathematical 
computation. Planned activities include invited presentations, research 
papers, poster sessions, tutorial courses, vendor exhibits and software 
demonstrations.

Invited Speakers

    * John J. Cannon (University of Sydney, Australia)
    * William Kahan (UC Berkeley, USA)
    * Jean Bernard Lasserre (CNRS, Toulouse, France)

Conference Topics include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic Mathematics
Algebraic, symbolic and symbolic-numeric algorithms. Simplification, 
function manipulation, summation, integration, polynomial/differential/
difference equations, linear algebra, number theory, group and 
invariant theory, geometric computing.

Computer Science
Theoretical and practical problems in symbolic computation. Systems, 
problem solving environments, user interfaces, software, libraries, 
parallel/distributed computing and programming languages, concrete 
analysis, benchmarking, theoretical and practical complexity, 
automatic differentiation, code generation, mathematical data 
structures and exchange protocols.

Applications
Problem treatments using algebraic, symbolic or symbolic-numeric 
computation in an essential or a novel way. Engineering, economics 
and finance, physical and biological sciences, computer science, 
logic, mathematics and education.

Poster Sessions
---------------
Posters on all conference topics are welcome. Authors are invited 
to submit an extended abstract of no more than 2 pages (A4 or letter) 
describing the contents of the poster. PDF and PS formats 
are preferred. A0 format is preferable but not mandatory.
Abstracts of posters will be distributed at the symposium.

Submission of posters can be done online at 
http://www.easychair.org/ISSAC2007Posters/

Software Demonstrations
-----------------------
ISSAC 2007 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 exhibition session consists of an illustration 
of a piece of software by using a poster display and/or a laptop 
computer display.

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 
2 pages (A4 or letter) of their software presentation. Abstracts 
of software exhibitions will be distributed at the symposium. 
PDF and PS formats are preferred. The abstract must include a valid 
link/contact address for downloading the software packages and 
the documentations.

Please send your submission by email with the subject 
[ISSAC'07 Software Exhibitions] to issac07demos at uwaterloo.ca.


Deadline for Posters and Software Exhibitions
---------------------------------------------
    * Submission deadline: June 5, 2007 (Midnight [24:00 EST])
    * Notification of acceptance will be made by June 15, 2007.


SIGSAM Distinguished Paper Award
