The Internet Accessible Mathematical Computation 2005 Workshop (IAMC 2005)
is being co-organized by Laureano Gonzalez of University of Cantabria
(Spain), Norbert Kajler of Ecole des Mines de Paris (France), Dongdai Lin
of Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), Andrew
Solomon of IT, UTS (Australia), and Paul Wang of Kent State
Univ. (USA). The workshop is part of ISSAC'05 with the support of ISSAC'05
co-chairs Xiao-shan Gao (MMRC, Academia Scinica, China) and George Labahn
(University of Waterloo, Canada).

IAMC'05 will involve invited talks, contributed papers, and software
demonstrations. This is the sixth IAMC workshop following IAMC'99, IAMC'01,
IAMC'02, IAMC'03, and IAMC'04.

The workshop is free for all ISSAC'05 participants.

Everyone with an interest in the many aspects of making mathematical
computation or information accessible on the Web/Internet is welcome to
attend. Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Remote access to mathematical software over the Internet.
- Encoding of mathematical expressions (including text-based encoding,
   for E-mail and HTML embedding, and binary-based encoding for efficient
   communication between scientific applications).
- Interoperability between software that create/transform/display mathematical
   expressions (e.g. symbolic, numeric, graphics, text-processing packages)
   via ad hoc communication protocols and software architectures.
- Web-based mathematics education.
- Access to and interoperability of mathematical knowledge bases.
- Protocols, APIs, URL schemes, metadata, and other mechanisms for system
   interoperability, parallel/distributed computing, and standardization.
- Application of IAMC for practical purposes such as scientific publishing
   and archiving, distributed problem solving, ...

CONTRIBUTED PAPERS

Authors are invited to send a one or two-pages abstract in PDF to the
organizers by 10 June 2005. Submissions will be reviewed by the workshop
organizers based on relevance to the workshop, originality, and scientific
interest.  Authors will be notified by E-mail around 20 June 2005 so please
include a contact E-mail address in the paper. The full-length paper (in PDF)
is due 10 July 2005.


ELECTRONIC PROCEEDINGS

The Workshop proceedings will be published on the Web and maintained by the
Institute for Computational Mathematics (ICM), Kent State Univ.

SYSTEM DEMONSTRATIONS

If you have an IAMC related system to demonstrate, please let us know as
early as possible (by 5 July 2005), your name and affiliation, the name of
the system(s) to demo, and your equipment request.  We'll then announce all
the demos on the IAMC website.

IMPORTANT DATES

       10 June   2005 --- Deadline for submitting papers/abstracts
       20 June   2005 --- Notification of acceptance and Call for Participation
        5 July   2005 --- Deadline for submitting software demos
       10 July   2005 --- Full-length paper due
       24 July   2005 --- IAMC'05 Workshop

WORKSHOP REGISTRATION

The IAMC Workshop is part of ISSAC'2005. Participants should register with
the ISSAC'2005 conference and select the IAMC workshop.  Although we
encourage everyone to attend the complete ISSAC + IAMC sessions, a reduced
fee (US$65) is available for those attending IAMC only.

Information for travel and accomodation (at conference rates) are available
from the ISSAC05 site It is advisable to make hotel reservations early. The
student dorms are easy to afford and close to the meeting.  The hotel is not
obligated to extend the same discount for ISSAC to IAMC-only participants.

SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS

IAMC recognizes the importance of student participation and is planning to
support qualified students attending IAMC'05 with a stipend of up to US
$400. We have applied for funding to the US National Science Foundation
and, if funded, will be able to support graduate students from US-based
institutions.
