Special Session on Compact Computer Algebra http://www.orcca.on.ca/conferences/cca2008
@ Applications for Computer Algebra (ACA 2008) July 27-30, 2008. RISC, Linz, Austria
Second Call for papers and Software Demos
-------------------------------------------/
A few decades ago, minimizing resource use was a crucial factor in the development of any computer algebra software. Many successful systems were born under these conditions, including CAMAL, Maple, Derive and Macaulay as examples. Since then, hardware improvements have pushed the concern of base resource requirements into the background: the user interfaces to modern systems typically require more resources to launch than the algebra engine, and algorithm implementation often focuses on the complexity to solve very large problems.
The art of compact computer algebra is becoming again increasingly important. New directions for symbolic computing include the migration from workstations to handheld devices and the changing role from standalone applications to lightweight services within integrated systems. Whether running on a graphing calculator or as support of a client-side web application, certain applications of computer algebra require compact data representation, space-efficient algorithms and effective memory management.
Session Scope ------------- The purpose of this session is to communicate efforts in research, design, development and application of compact computer algebra. We invite contributions in all aspects of this area, including, but not limited to
* math education tools (eg. Derive, TI-Nspire, Class-Pad, HP 50g), * portable and Internet-accessible symbolic calculators (eg. Mate), * CAS for personal digital assistants (eg. AsirPad, MobileCAS). * "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
Invited Speakers ---------------- ** David R. Stoutemyer Department of Information and Computer Science, U. of Hawaii "Some Ways to Implement Computer Algebra Compactly"
** Mitsushi Fujimoto Department of Mathematics, Fukuoka U. of Education "On the User Interface of AsirPad -- a Pen-based CAS for PDA"
** Michael Monagan Department of Mathematics, Simon Fraser U. "How fast can we multiply and divide sparse polynomials?"
Submissions -----------
1) Contributed Papers: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Authors are invited to send a one- or two-page abstract by e-mail to e-smirnova@ti.com by June 20, 2008. Submissions will be reviewed based on relevance to the session, originality and scientific interest. Authors will be notified by E-mail around June 27, 2008.
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 20, 2008. 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 E-mail to by June 20. The subject line must contain the string "CCA abstract". 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.
Important Dates --------------- * June 20 - Deadline for submitting paper and demo abstracts. * June 27 - Notification of acceptance * July 25 - Full-length papers due * July 27-30 - ACA conference -- see you at RISC!
