Second 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.
