MACIS 2006 - International Conference on Mathematical Aspects of Computer and Information Sciences http://www.cc4cm.org/macis2006 Beijing, China, July 22-24, 2006

CALL FOR PAPERS

Mathematical Aspects of Computer and Information Sciences (MACIS) is a new series of conferences where foundational research on theoretical and practical problems of mathematics for computing and information processing may be presented and discussed. MACIS also addresses experimental and case studies, scientific and engineering computation, design and implementation of algorithms and software systems, and applications of mathematical methods and tools to outstanding and emerging problems in applied computer and information sciences. Each conference focuses on two or three themes. The themes (with specific topics) for MACIS 2006 are:

* Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems

Mathematical modeling and dynamics of complex systems; symbolic and numeric analysis of complex systems; stability, sensitivity, and complexity analysis; stochastic dynamic systems; physical systems; biological systems; modeling of space materials and environments; information processing in complex systems; statistical physics; computer simulation; computational techniques and tools

* Symbolic and Numeric Computation

Algebraic, symbolic, and symbolic-numeric methods for equation solving, linear and polynomial algebra, ODE/PDE, and dynamic systems; geometric computing, reasoning, and modeling; software design and implementation; applications in mathematics, statistics, system science, computer science, physical and biological sciences, engineering, economics, and finance

* Algorithms and Complexity

Algorithm design and implementation; symbolic and numeric algorithms; parallel and distributed algorithms; algebraic and geometric algorithms; analysis of algorithms; complexity theory; theoretical and practical complexity analysis; computability theory; automata theory

INVITED SPEAKERS

Hirokazu Anai (Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd., Japan) Dan Braha (University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth and New England Complex Systems Institute, USA) Andreas Dress (CAS-MPG Partner Institute for Computational Biology, China) Remi Monasson (Ecole Normale Superieure - CNRS, France) Lan Wen (Peking University, China)

SUBMISSION

Potential participants of MACIS 2006 are invited to submit extended abstracts (3-4 pages) or full papers describing their work to be presented at the conference. The submitted extended abstracts and full papers will be reviewed by members of the program committee (PC) for soundness and relevance to the conference. Submission of original research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in progress will also be considered for presentation at the conference. Extended abstracts and full papers should be prepared using LaTeX with the style file available on the MACIS 2006 web and according to the instructions given therein. Electronic submissions are preferred, and should be sent in PDF or PS format as e-mail attachments to the PC chair:

Professor Dongming Wang, School of Science Beihang University, Beijing 100083, China E-mail Dongming.Wang@lip6.fr - Fax +86 10 8233 8311

Accepted extended abstracts and full papers will be printed in the proceedings of MACIS 2006 for distribution at the conference.

Authors of the extended abstracts and full papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be invited to submit their full and/or revised papers for publication in a post-proceedings volume or special journal issues after the meeting. The submitted papers will be formally reviewed by PC members and external referees. The volume or special issues containing the finally accepted papers will be published by an international publisher.

IMPORTANT DATES

Deadline for extended abstract submission: April 16, 2006 Notification of acceptance or rejection: May 15, 2006 Conference taking place: July 24-26, 2006 Deadline for full paper submission: October 15, 2006
