CALL FOR SOFTWARE EXHIBITIONS
======================================================================
ISSAC 2003
International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA, August 3-6, 2003
http://www.drexel.edu/issac2003/
======================================================================
ISSAC is the yearly premier international symposium in Symbolic and
Algebraic Computation. It provides an opportunity to learn of new
developments and to present original research results in all areas of
symbolic mathematical computation. Planned activities include invited
presentations, research and survey papers, poster sessions, tutorial
courses, vendor exhibits and software demonstrations.
This year ISSAC organizes sessions to exhibit software packages
produced by academic developers. These sessions are intended to
promote software development activities in the areas of
symbolic mathematical computation.
Important Dates
---------------
- Deadline for Submissions: April 28, 2003
- Notification of Acceptance: shortly after submission
The software abstracts will be published in the SIGSAM Bulletin.
To encourage submissions of good quality, two best demonstration
prizes will be awarded. Demonstrations will be judged by the
program committee and the attendees independently, both based on
content and presentation.

Conference Topics
-----------------
Topics of the meeting include, but are not limited to :
- Algorithmic mathematics. Algebraic, symbolic and symbolic-numeric
algorithms. Simplification, function manipulation, equations,
summation, integration, ODE/PDE, linear algebra, number theory,
group and geometric computing.
- Computer Science. Theoretical and practical problems in symbolic
computation. Systems, problem solving environments, user interfaces,
software, libraries, parallel/distributed computing and programming
languages for symbolic computation, concrete analysis, benchmarking,
theoretical and practical complexity of computer algebra algorithms,
automatic differentiation, code generation, mathematical data
structures and exchange protocols.
- Applications. Problem treatments using algebraic, symbolic or
symbolic-numeric computation in an essential or a novel way.
Engineering, economics and finance, physical and biological
sciences, computer science, logic, mathematics, statistics,
education.
Instructions
------------
A software exhibition consists of an illustration of a piece of
software by using a poster display and/or a laptop computer display.
Software exhibitors are invited to submit:
* A title of their software exhibition;
* An abstract of about half a page describing the software,
the purpose and containing a very short bibliography;
* At most two pages which detail the abstract;
Documents must be in English. Plain TeX or LaTeX is preferred, but
plain text is also acceptable.
Documents should be submitted via electronic mail to
aszanto@ncsu.edu
Recommendations:
The aims of your exhibition is to convince the attendees to use your
software. In particular you should make clear the following aspects:
* What your software does,
* Its power and limitations,
* Any possible advantages or drawbacks over similar packages.
Exhibitors are encouraged to read the article How to Prepare a Poster.
Technical details
-----------------
The software exhibition sessions will take place in the same hall as
the poster sessions. You will have access to a poster stand and
possibly to a table and a chair. You will have to provide your own
laptop computer if needed.
Please inform the Exhibitions Chair about the needs of your
exhibitions. Also, please feel free to contact the exhibitions chair
with any questions at: aszanto@ncsu.edu
