SYNASC-2002
4th International Workshop on
Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
Timisoara, Romania
October 9 - 12, 2002
---------------------------------------------------------------
Organized by:
Department. of Computer Science
University of the West, Timisoara, Romania
and
Research Institute for Symbolic Computation
University Johannes Kepler, Linz, Austria
---------------------------------------------------------------
Topic:
The workshop will be an interaction forum between the two scientific communities
of symbolic and numeric computing, with the purpose of exhibiting interesting
applications of these areas both in theory and in practice.
Topics for submissions to SYNASC:
- solving systems
of nonlinear equations;
- symbolic techniques applied to numerics;
- applications of automated reasoning;
- artificial intelligence in numeric solving;
- multi-agent systems for complex problem solving;
- parallel computation for symbolics and numerics;
- programming with constraints, narrowing;
- reliable approximative computation with reals;
- numerics and symbolics for geometry;
- scientific visualization.
but this list is not intended to be exhaustive.
We also welcome system descriptions related to these areas.
The choice of this topic is motivated by the belief of the organizers
that the dialogue
of the two communities is very necessary in order to make significant
progress in
making the computer a truly intelligent aid for mathematicians and engineers.
A special symposium concerning numerical methods will be organized in honour
of Prof.Dr. Stefan Maruster, the mentor of the Department of Computer Science
from Timisoara University.
The official language of the workshop is English.
--------------------------------------------------------
Publication:
The submissions will be accepted according to their quality and relevance to the
conference topics. The proceedings (with ISBN) will be available at the workshop.
The articles must be written in English.
Following the workshop, authors are encouraged to prepare an improved
final version
of their papers which will be published in the journal "Annals of the
University of
Timisoara, Mathematics and Computer Science series", ISSN 1224-97-OX.
(reviewed in Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt
für Mathematik).
The journal is distributed, through librarian exchange, to more than
200 academic
libraries all over the world (http://www.math.uvt.ro/anmath/index.html).

---------------------------------------------------------
Venue:
The city of Timisoara hosts several prestigious academic institutions
(the University
of the West, the "Politehnica" University, the University of Medicine,
and others).
The city and the surrounding region have an unique history in Romania,
being over the
centuries an object of dispute for several states (Roman, Hungarian,
Ottoman, Austrian),
which left their still visible marks, and, above all, a very multicultural
society which
constitutes a beautiful example of harmony in Romania and in the Balkans
(30 Km from
Serbia). The openness of mind of its inhabitants is probably one of
the reasons for starting
the anti-Communist movement in Romania and for being now one of the
economically
most advanced locations in the country.

Social programme:
A social programme including visits to the historical city, museum,
trip to the
Cave of the Bears or to the Dracula castle, etc. will be planned in
detail
depending on the programme and wishes of the participants.
