[Webmath] 2nd Call For Submissions: 3rd Workshop on Compact Computer Algebra, Paris, France

[Smirnova, Elena]

                   Third Workshop on
                Compact Computer Algebra
                           @
                       CICM 2010
                     July 6, 2010.
                     Paris, France

              SECOND CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
             -------------------------------

Even though compact design is no longer a vital necessity for
main-stream computer algebra systems, it is a central question
in emerging settings.   Compact systems are important for
hand-held devices, embedded computer algebra modules
(e.g. for smart document processors) and web-based computing
to name a few areas.  Additionally, compact data representations
can be essential when dealing with very large problems.

The aim of the CCA events is to communicate the ideas supporting
the subject of "compactness" in algorithms, data organization
and system design for computer algebra.

Continuing the series of CCA meetings previously held in Linz, Austria (2008)
and in Grand Bend, Canada (2009), the 3rd workshop on Compact Computer Algebra
will take place in Paris, France as a part of CICM 2010 conference.

 Workshop Scope:
 --------------
 the whole spectrum of issues of compact CA including, but not limited to:

    * space-efficient data structures
    * memory-efficient implementations
    * compact kernels
    * math education tools
    * portable and Internet-accessible symbolic calculators
    * CAS for personal digital assistants
    * "spell checkers" for math content in document processing software
    * validators for online and offline mathematical recognizers
    * backend engines to pen-computing interfaces
    * math editing components for 2D expression


 Submissions
 -----------

 1) Contributed Papers:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Authors are invited to submit a one- or two-page abstract by June 15,
 2010. Submissions will be reviewed based on relevance to the session,
 originality and scientific interest. Authors will be notified before
 June 20, 2010.

 2) System Demonstrations:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Participants with CCA-related software they wish to demonstrate,
 should submit a one page abstract describing their system and what
 they wish to present by June 15, 2010. Demonstrators are expected to
 run their software on their own computers/devices. Local-area
 network access and additional displays may be provided, up on
 request. Please indicate any specific requirements in the abstract
 submitted.

 How to submit
 -------------
 All abstracts are to be submitted by June 15 via EasyChar at

    http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cca3

 Please ensure your abstract is clearly marked as being for a
 contributed paper or software demonstration.

 Publication of the Proceedings
 ------------------------------
 The full-length papers and the abstracts will be published
 electronically at the Compact Computer Algebra session web site
 maintained by the Ontario Research Centre for Computer Algebra.
 Selected papers will be considered for publishing in a journal
 special issue.
