			September 20-26, 2003
			Passau, Germany
                   First Announcement and Call for Papers
                 

		 
The methods of Scientific Computing play an important role in research
and engineering applications in the natural and the engineering
sciences. The significance and impact of computer algebra methods and
computer algebra systems for scientific computing has increased
considerably in recent times. Nowadays, such general-purpose computer algebra systems as Mathematica, Maple, MuPAD and others enable their users to solve the following three important tasks within a uniform framework: 

                        symbolic manipulation 
                        numerical computation 
                        visualization 

                 
The ongoing development of such systems, including their adaptation to parallel environments, puts them to the forefront in scientific computing and enables the practical solution of many complex applied problems in the domains of natural sciences and engineering.

                 
		 
The topics addressed in the workshop cover all the basic areas of scientific computing provided by application of computer algebra methods and software: 

	   computer algebra and approximate computations 
	   numerical simulation using computer algebra systems 

	   parallel symbolic-numeric computation 
	   problem-solving environment 
	   symbolic-numeric interface
	   Internet accessible symbolic and numeric computation 
	   symbolic-numeric methods for differential and differential-algebraic equations 
	   computer algebra based simulations 
           algebraic methods for nonlinear polynomial equations and inequalities 
           symbolic and numerical computation in systems engineering and modeling 
	   algorithmic and complexity considerations in computer algebra 
           computer algebra in industry 
           solving problems in natural sciences 

The workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers and
engineers in the fields of mathematics, computer science, numerical
analysis, industry, etc. An important goal of the workshop is to bring
together all these specialists for the purpose of fostering progress
on current questions and problems in advanced scientific computing.
