Mathematics on the Web

a special session at the

International Congress of Mathematical Software, 2002



Prior to the International Congress of Mathematicians 2002 in China, there will be the satellite: International Congress of Mathematical Software, 2002 (ICMS). It will be held in Beijing from August 17 until 19, 2002. For further information, see the Congress website http://www.mathsoftware.org.

One of the special sessions at the ICMS will be devoted to `Mathematics on the Web'. The session will focus on the new possibilities of mathematical interactions made feasible by the Web/Internet and the shifts in emphasis resulting from it (e.g. from complexity to credence).

Contributions to this session are hereby solicited. They can range from software engineering problems for mathematical systems, networking and interoperability issues, data representation and other standards to allow cooperation, user interfaces to mathematical software and example applications. Please propose contributions to one of the
