Title: A Framework for Pen-Based Mathematical Computing
Abstract: The dream of natural pen-based interface for mathematical
computing is now a tantalyzing possibility. Seeing pen-based computing devices
used everywhere from mobile telephones to the tablet devices of travelling
sales representatives, it is natural to expect that a suitable mathematical
interface should soon be available. In this talk we explore what is easy and
what is hard in pen-based interfaces for mathematics. We describe the building
blocks that are necessary for an effective interface, and the state of the art
in these areas.

Title: The ChinaGrid and its Impact on e-Science in China
Abstract: The ChinaGrid, part of the nation-wide grid project funded
by the Ministry of Education of China, aims to provide a high-performance and
efficient platform for research collaboration. The basic network platform for
ChinaGrid is CERNET. This talk presents the initiative, the vision, and the
current status of ChinaGrid after nearly three years of deployment. Several
scientific applications are introduced in detail to illustrate ways this grid
technology is being used for e-Science research in China.

Demo -- GeoSVG: An SVG-based Web-oriented Dynamic Geometry Software
Xun Lai, Department of Computer Science, Kent State University, USA
GeoSVG is an SVG-based Web-oriented Dynamic Geometry Software to support
diagramming, interactive learning, and easy authoring of geometrical
manipulatives. With GeoSVG's complete Web-orientation and the support of
the backend server GeoSite, teachers can author manipulatives without
installing software, publish and share manipulatives immediately, and
easily collect students' interactive learning results.
Demo -- WME: Web-based Mathematics Education Pilot Site
Paul Wang, Department of Computer Science, Kent State University, USA
WME pilot site used for mathematics instructions at Kimpton Middle
