[Compgeom-announce] ICMS 2006: call for papers
Call for Papers of
Second International Congress of Mathematical Software
[ ICMS'2006 --- developers meeting, ICM satellite ]
at Castro Urdiales, SPAIN, September 1-3 2006
http://www.icms2006.unican.es.
(Backup site: http://www.mathsoftware.org).
DUE: MARCH 31, 2006.
This conference is jointly organized by the Dept. of Mathematics,
Statistics and Computation and the Dept. of Applied Mathematics and
Computational Sciences of the University of Cantabria, Spain. It will
be held in September 1-3 2006 at La Residencia, Castro Urdiales
(Spain) as a satelite meeting of ICM 2006. We will welcome developers
of mathematical software systems as well as researchers in algorithms
and mathematicians who are interested in the developement of
mathematical software systems. This is an almost unique chance to
meet people in different disciplines in mathematics and computer
science and exchange ideas on developements on mathematical software
systems. Although the mathematical software sessions of the main ICM
program intend to attract general audiences, the main audience of this
satellite meeting is assumed to be developers of mathematical software
systems. We welcome you to apply for the both events.
This is the second edition of this conference and follows up the first
edition held in Beijing (China), August 17-19 2002. The proceedings of
that conference have been published by World Scientific. In addition,
some papers were selected for a Special Issue of the Journal of
Symbolic Computation, Vol. 38, Number 4, October 2004.
AIM AND SCOPE
Mathematics has a wide variety of branches. Despite this, we in the
International Conference of Mathematical Software believe that
mathematics is fundamentally just one thing. Algebra, geometry and
analysis are examples of separate specialities within mathematics, and
of course we consider each of them valuable and hence study them. But
we take the view that any branch of mathematics can borrow freely from
these specialities. It is often worth while delving into them for
ideas that might lead to fundamental new discoveries. The same can be
said of mathematical software systems: the study of mathematical
software is a coherent whole. We believe that the appearance of
mathematical software is one of the most important events in
mathematics. Mathematical software systems are used to construct
examples, to prove theorems, and to find new mathematical
phenomena. Conversely, mathematical research often motivates
developments of new algorithms and new systems. Beyond mathematics,
mathematical software systems are becoming indispensable tools in many
branches of science and technology. The development of mathematical
software systems relies on the cooperation of mathematicians,
algorithm designers, programmers, and the feedback from users. The
main audiences of this conference are mathematical software developers
and programming mathematicians, but we also intend to provide an
opportunity to discuss these topics with mathematicians and users from
application areas. Topics include but are not limited to: 1. Software
engineering problems for mathematical software. 2. Mathematics and
media including user interfaces and integration of documents and
software systems. 3. Mathematics related to mathematical software
(experiments, algorithms). Scientific computing. 4. High performance
computing. 5. Applications of mathematical software.
LIST OF SESSIONS
This conference is comprised of some sessions devoted to different
Mathematical Software issues as well as a general track. As a rule,

PAPER SUBMISSION
We will accept original research papers or original expositions or
announcements of research results. All submitted documents will be
reviewed and published in a book with ISBN or DOI. Further details
about publication will be given later. We are also planning to edit a
DVD which contains proceedings, documents, demos and software systems.
This DVD will become a snapshot on developments of mathematical
software systems in 2006. This conference is comprised of some
sessions devoted to different Mathematical Software issues as well as
a general track. When submitting a paper, please check if it fits into
the aims and scope of any session (see above for the current list of
sessions). If so, submit your manuscript by e-mail to the session
organizer (their corresponding e-mail addresses are available at the
Web page). Otherwise, send your paper title and name directly to the
general track, via e-mail to:
Prof. Nobuki Takayama
E-mail: icms2006@math.kobe-u.ac.jp and CC to icms2006@unican.es
After getting your e-mail, we will send you back a URL to submit your paper.
