SYNASC 2013

15th International Symposium on

Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing

September 23-26, 2013, Timisoara, Romania

http://www.synasc.ro/

Aim

SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction between the two

scientific communities of symbolic and numeric computing

and to exhibit interesting applications of the areas both

in theory and in practice. The choice of the topic is motivated

by the belief of the organizers that the dialogue between

the two communities is very necessary for accelerating the

progress in making the computer a truly intelligent aid for

mathematicians and engineers.

Submission

Submissions of research papers are invited. The papers must contain

original research results not submitted and not published elsewhere.

The submission process consists of two steps.

* In the first step the authors are invited to express their

intention to participate at the conference by submitting a

short abstract (1/2 page, at maximum) where it is clearly

stated the main contribution(s) of the paper.

* In the second step the authors should submit the full paper

(up to 8 pages in the two-columns IEEE conference style).

Both the abstract and the full paper should be submitted electronically

through http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2013 (for the main tracks)

and through http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2013workshops (for the

workshops).

Proposals are also invited for:

* special sessions

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 programme chair

and by the general chair.
