SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

Session on

"New Developments on Computer Algebra Packages" http://personales.unican.es/iglesias/NDCAP2006/

of the

Second International Congress on Mathematical Software, ICMS'2006

Castro Urdiales, SPAIN, September 1-3, 2006

Conference web site: http://www.icms2006.unican.es

Contact persons: Andres Iglesias, iglesias@unican.es Tetsuo Ida, Tetsuo.Ida@acm.org

INVITATION ----------

Computer Algebra Packages (CAPs) - such as Mathematica, Maple, Matlab, Scilab and many others - are an integral part of Mathematical Software. In addition to their powerful symbolic manipulation capabilities, they also provide the users with a large number of appealing features, such as arbitrary-precision calculations, a fully integrated framework for numerical/symbolic computation, nice visualization tools and graphical user interfaces (GUIs), reliable and fast communication tools and protocols, the possibility of running remote kernels and performing calculations on the Web, etc.

This session will focus on new software developments (packages, notebooks, worksheets, libraries, etc.) carried out on any computer algebra package and introducing innovative solutions to mathematical and scientific problems. The session will also be a forum for the discussion of the potential and real advantages and shortcomings of these computer algebra systems for mathematical software.

The technical session is a part of the International Conference on Mathematical Software, ICMS'2006 (a ICM satellite event), that will be held in Castro Urdiales, Spain, September 1-3 2006.

TOPICS ------

This session will focus on new software developments (packages, notebooks, worksheets, libraries, etc.) carried out on any computer algebra package and introducing innovative solutions to mathematical and scientific problems. Thus, we accept papers describing research on actual or possible applications of these systems to any scientific field (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Computer Science, Education, Industry, etc.).

In addition to their powerful symbolic manipulation capabilities, the computer algebra packages also provide the users with a large number of appealing features, such as arbitrary-precision calculations, a fully integrated framework for numerical/symbolic computation, nice visualization tools and graphical user interfaces (GUIs), reliable and fast communication tools and protocols, the possibility of running remote kernels and performing calculations on the Web, etc. Papers exploring any of those issues to solve complex problems as well as papers describing strategies to combine them with other programs and/or packages are also welcome.

Finally, papers identifying new directions of research, presenting new software systems or discussing the potential and real advantages and shortcomings of these computer algebra packages for mathematical software will also be considered.

The topics to be addressed include (but are not limited to):

* computer algebra applications to Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Biology, Computer Science, Social Sciences, Arts, Entertainment, Architecture, etc. * symbolic-numerical computations using computer algebra systems * computer algebra systems and Internet * industrial applications of computer algebra * problem-solving environments * symbolic-numeric interface * computer algebra systems in Education * computer algebra based simulations * new computer algebra developments (packages, notebooks, etc.) * new symbolic computation algorithms * new issues in symbolic computation

IMPORTANT DATES ---------------

* April 20, 2006: Draft papers due (pdf file only)

* May 25, 2006: Notification of Acceptance

* June 10, 2006: Camera-ready version of your paper

* September 1-3, 2006: ICMS 2006 conference in Castro Urdiales (SPAIN)

PROCEEDINGS -----------

Proceedings of this session will be published by Springer-Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
