SYNASC 2014

16th International Symposium on

Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing

September 22-25, 2014, Timisoara, Romania

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.

Publication

Research papers that are accepted and presented at the

symposium will be collected as post-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 post-proceedings

will be considering to be published as special issues in international journals.

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=synasc2014.

Proposals are also invited for:

* special sessions

* satellite workshops

* tutorials

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.
