Call for Papers
---------------
SYNASC 2011

13th International Symposium on
Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
September 26-29, 2011, Timisoara, Romania
http://synasc11.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 the main contributions of the paper are
clearly stated.

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


Both the abstract and the full paper should be submitted electronically 
through http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2011.
       

Publication
-----------
The research papers accepted and presented at the symposium will be collected 
as post-proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press (ISI 
Proceedings).
