*********************************************************************


ISSAC, the International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation is
an annual gathering of the Symbolic Mathematical Computation community.
ISSAC 2004 is scheduled for July 4 - 7, 2004 at the University of Cantabria,
Santander, Spain.
The Program Committee received over 130 research paper submissions. ISSAC
2004 is expected to be very well attended.

Planned conference activities include invited presentations, research and
survey papers, poster sessions, tutorial courses, vendor exhibits, and
software demonstrations.
Proceedings, as well as abstracts of all posters, will be distributed at the
conference.

The Poster Sessions are an ideal venue for presenting recent research
results or ongoing research projects that might not yet be complete, but
whose preliminary results are already interesting nonetheless. Especially
welcome are posters describing implementations of algorithms, computer
algebra systems, and applications in education, science and industry.

To encourage poster submissions of good quality, a best poster prize,
consisting of a certificate, will be awarded. Posters will be judged based
on content and presentation.


Important Dates
---------------

*Deadline for abstract submission: May 10, 2004

*Notification of Acceptance: May 28, 2004


Submission Guidelines
---------------------

Authors are invited to submit electronically an abstract of no more
than 900 words to

Ziming Li (zmli@mmrc.iss.ac.cn)

describing the contents of the poster. Plain TeX or LaTeX is preferred, but
plain text is also acceptable.

Abstracts of final versions of accepted posters will be distributed at the
conference, and appear in the Bulletin of the Special Interest Group on
Symbolic & Algebraic Manipulation (SIGSAM), ACM.
All accepted posters will be archived for public download at the web site of
SIGSAM.


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.
