ISSAC'98 - symbolic and algebraic computation

ISSAC'98, the annual international symposium on symbolic and algebraic computation, will be held in Rostock, Germany, from 13 to 15 August 1998. The aim of the conference is to provide participants with the opportunity to learn of new developments and to present original research in all areas of symbolic mathematical computation.

Planned activities during the conference will include the presentation of research and survey papers, poster sessions, tutorial courses, vendor exhibits and software demonstrations. Topics to be covered during the conference will include the following:

- Symbolic-numeric algorithms for polynomials;
- Software and problem-solving environments;
- Applications, formal and parallel methods;
- Matrix algebra and difference equations;
- Integration and differential equations;
- Groebner bases and applications.

In addition, the conference will feature three tutorial sessions on symbolic integration, towards "soft" typing in computer algebra systems and interaction between numerical analysis and computer algebra. A meeting of the computer algebra benchmarking initiative will also be held during the conference.
