Call for Papers
----------------
SYNASC 2012
14th International Symposium on
Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing

~~ In honor of Professor Bruno Buchberger's 70th birthday and of
Professor Stefan Maruster's 75th birthday ~~

September 26-29, 2012, Timisoara, Romania
http://synasc12.info.uvt.ro/


Aim
---

SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction between the two scientific communities of symbolic and numeric 
computing and to exhibit interesting applications of the areas both in theory and in practice. The choice of
the topic is motivated by the belief of the organizers that the dialogue between the two communities is very 
necessary for accelerating the progress in making the computer a truly intelligent aid for mathematicians 
and engineers.

Submission
-----------

Submissions of research papers are invited. The papers must contain
original research results not submitted and not published elsewhere.

The submission process consists of two steps.  

    * In the first step the authors are invited to express their
intention to participate at the conference by submitting a short
abstract (1/2 page, at maximum) where it is clearly stated the main
contribution(s) of the paper.

    * In the second step the authors should submit the full paper
(up to 8 pages in the two-columns IEEE conference style).


Both the abstract and the full paper should be submitted electronically
through http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2012.
