[Webmath] Special Session on COMPACT COMPUTER ALGEBRA at ACA 2012 -- call for talk abstracts and software demos

[Smirnova, Elena]

                     FIRST CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

                       for Special Session on

                       COMPACT COMPUTER ALGEBRA

           at Applications for Computer Algebra 2012 Conference

                      25-28, 2012. Sofia, Bulgaria

The objective of the Compact Computer Algebra (CCA) meetings has been
to explore the various questions that arise for computer algebra in a
resource-constrained setting, such as with portable devices or when
providing a computational service in a larger setting. This includes
"compactness" in algorithms, data organization and system design.

Recently, the CCA community has begun to explore potential target
applications of compact computer algebra, for example: what type
of software and services might benefit from embedding their own
"compact" Computer Algebra System (CAS), or having an easy access
to one, and what set of functionalities this CAS should be offering
to its host.

The current meeting, to be held in Sofia, builds on directions,
exploring these and related questions. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

    * space-efficient data structures
    * memory-efficient implementations
    * compact kernels/engines
    * math education tools
    * portable and Internet-accessible symbolic calculators
    * CAS for personal digital assistants, including smartphones and tablets
    * "spell checkers" for math content in document processing software
    * validators for online and offline mathematical recognizers
    * expression equivalence testing for math education software
    * tools for computing measure of expression complexity
    * embedded software to generate custom numerical evaluators in real time
    * backend engines to pen-computing interfaces
    * math editing components for 2D expressions
