SYNASC 2021

23th International Symposium on

Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing

December 7-10, 2021, Timisoara, Romania

http://synasc.ro/2021

=== Aim ===

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SYNASC 2021 will be organized as a hybrid event.

Note that if the general health situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic does not allow for an in-presence event, the symposium will still be held in a remote mode.

=== Aim ===

SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction among multiple communities focusing on defining,

optimizing and executing complex algorithms in several application areas. The focus of the

conference then ranges from symbolic and numeric computation to formal methods applied to programming, artificial intelligence, distributed computing and computing theory. The interplay

between these areas, in fact, is essential in the current scenario where economy and society

demand for the development of complex, data intensive, trustable and high performant computational systems.

In this context we invite for:

* research paper submissions

* special session proposals

* satellite workshop proposals

* tutorial proposals

=== Important Dates ===

30 April 2021 : Proposals for workshops, special sessions, tutorials

30 June 2021 : Paper submission for main tracks

30 September 2021 : Notification of acceptance

15 October 2021 : Registration

15 October 2021 : Revised papers according to the reviews

7-10 December 2021 : Symposium

=== PhD Colloquium session ===

Short papers, describing ongoing work and research challenges of PhD students (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style) are invited for submission.

=== Research Papers ===

Submitted research papers must contain original research results not submitted

and not published elsewhere.

There are four categories of submissions:

* Regular papers describing fully completed research results (up to 8 pages

in the two-columns paper style).

* System descriptions and experimental papers describing implementation

results of experimental data, with a link to the reported results (up to 4

pages in the two-columns paper style).

* Work in progress papers, describing ongoing work and/or preliminary

results (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).

* PhD Students short papers, describing ongoing work and research challenges of PhD students (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).

The papers should be submitted electronically through

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2021.

Research papers that are accepted and presented at the symposium will be

collected as proceedings published by Conference Publishing Service

(CPS) (included in IEEE Xplore) and will be submitted for indexing in ISI Web

of Science, DBLP, SCOPUS.

Extended versions of the selected papers published in proceedings will be

considered to be published as special issues in international journals (e.g. Soft

Computing Journal, Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience etc.)

=== Special Sessions ===

Proposals are invited for special sessions on any topic relevant to the conference.

Special sessions are intended to stimulate in-depth discussions in special areas

and they are fully integrated into the main conference. The research papers and the

informal presentations submitted and accepted for the special sessions follow the

same rules as the papers submitted to the regular sessions. It is expected that the

organizers of the special sessions appoint their own chair and program committee,

which will be integrated in the conference program committee and will be supervised

by the conference program chair and by the general chair.

=== Workshops ===

Proposals for satellite workshops are also invited. The satellite workshops should

have topics related to SYNASC but the scientific program of each satellite workshop

is managed by the workshop organizers. Authors contributing to a workshop would be

required to register for the symposium.

=== Tutorials ===

Proposals for tutorials are also invited. Tutorials provide fundamental exposure

to topics ranging from introductory through intermediate to advanced. The number

and the duration of the tutorials will be decided by the tutorial chair under the

supervision of the general chair. Depending on the number and the quality of the

proposals for tutorials, they may be organized as a SYNASC Autumn School.
